Steps

In a bowl, mash the lentils with a potato masher. Add the oats, flour, and salt. You can add spices (I like to add steak spices).
Form about ten balls by hand.
In a pan, heat the oil. Sauté the meatballs until they are nicely browned. Deglaze with soy sauce and maple syrup. Remove from heat.
Set aside the meatballs and keep the pan without washing it. Peel and chop the shallots. Peel and mince the ginger. In the pan, sauté the shallots and ginger.
Deglaze with the cognac and soy sauce, then add the turmeric. Pour in the coconut milk and bring to a boil. When the sauce is creamy and the shallots are tender, remove from heat.
Serve the meatballs drizzled with sauce over basmati rice!
