Rinse lentils and add to water. Bring to boil, reduce heat, add curry powder, salt, coriander and cumin. Cover pan and cook for 35 to 45 minutes until tender. Set aside with lid on. Heat in a skillet and saute the olive oil, carrot, garlic and onion. Lentils should absorb the remaining liquid; if not, drain. Mash lentils, mix with sauteed vegetables and bread crumbs (crumbs can be made by putting broken pieces of bread into a blender and blend a few seconds). Mix in flour and tomato paste/soy sauce. Form into balls and flatten into patties. Place on oiled baking sheet and bake at 350-degrees for 20 minutes. Turn over and bake 20 minutes more. Makes 12 patties.
