Preparation steps
Rinse lentils in a sieve and simmer in a pot of boiling water with bay leaf for about 40 minutes until lentils start to fall apart. Then drain and place in a bowl. Let cool slightly.
Peel shallot and garlic and finely chop. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pan and saute shallot and garlic until soft. Mix shallot and garlic in a bowl with lentils.

Heat remaining oil in a pan for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
For the dip, mix yogurt in a bowl with crème fraîche, mustard and lemon juice and season with sugar, salt and pepper. Garnish with dill.
Drain lentil balls on paper towels and serve with the yogurt sauce.
