- Chop the onion and cut the tomatoes into cubes. Sauté the diced tomatoes with the onion and garlic. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Now mix the tomatoes, onion and garlic in the blender to make a sauce. Make it spicy by adding the red pepper powder and set aside.
- Now cut the peppers into pieces of 2×2 cm. Scrape the carrots and cut thin strips with a peeler. Bake the peppers in the wok, along with the peas and add the carrot strips after some minutes. Let it fry and then add the tomato sauce and lentils.
- In a small pan you heat 2 tablespoons of oil with salt, pepper and oregano. Let the oil not become too hot. This oil is used to sprinkle on the yogurt.
- Peel the potatoes and grate them with a grater. Beat 3 eggs and season with salt and pepper. Put the grated potatoes in a clean tea towel and press the liquid out. Mix the grated potato with eggs.
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add 2 tablespoons of the potato-egg mixture into the pan. Bake and when you see that the base gets some color, you turn it over like a pancake. One rosti a person is often sufficient.
