If you're a fan of falafel, then you're going to love these Mauritian dhal fritters. Known as gateaux piments, these lentil-filled fried balls are packed with the flavours of tangy spring onion, fresh coriander and fiery green chilli. They're great served as a light snack or starter, or crushed inside a crisp white baguette for lunch. The Island Kitchen by Selina Periampillai (Bloomsbury, £26.00) is out now.
