Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Red lentils
- 2 cups Water
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Oil for cooking
Instructions
Rinse the red lentils under running water until the water runs clear.
Soak the lentils in 2 cups of water for at least 1 hour or until they are soft.
After soaking, drain any excess water and transfer the lentils to a blender.
Blend the lentils into a smooth batter. Add 1 cup of fresh water gradually to achieve a thick, pourable consistency.
In a mixing bowl, combine the lentil batter with baking powder, salt, cumin powder, turmeric powder, and chopped cilantro. Mix well.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a small amount of oil.
Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it out gently to form a round pancake.
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve hot with your choice of sugar-free chutney or yogurt.
