Cook the lentils with turmeric in a generous amount of water until tender. Drain thoroughly in a sieve.
Soak the sheets of rice paper in cold water until they turn milky white. Remove carefully and spread them out next to one another on a tea towel.
Peel the ginger and garlic. Core and de-seed the chili. Dice all three finely.
Heat the oil in a flameproof casserole and lightly brown the ginger, garlic, and chili. Add the lentils and pour in the stock, vinegar and soy sauce.
Add salt, pepper and a pinch of cumin. Cook over an average heat until almost all the fluid has evaporated then take away from heat and stir in the yogurt.
Heat the oven to 200° C.
Spread the lentil mixture on the rice paper. Fold the side edges over the filling then fold lengthways. Butter a baking sheet and put the parcels on it. Brush with beaten egg yolk and bake in the center of the oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
