Nutty-Hot Green Lentil “Drops” with Tomatoes

I fell in love with Rajasthan—its topography, its people, and above all, its culinary repertoire. The ability to create magic, like this Rajasthani delicacy, out of barely anything always wins me over. Arid conditions and a short growing season force the Rajasthanis to dry fresh ingredients for later use, as is the case with these lentil drops, which are easy to find in any Indian grocery store.
