Description
Discover a delicious recipe for savory red lentil pancakes that are easy to make and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup red lentils, thoroughly rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup finely sliced scallions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Soak the rinsed red lentils in water for about 30 minutes to soften them.
- Drain the lentils and transfer them to a blender. Add fresh water and blend until smooth.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the blended lentil mixture with sea salt, ground coriander, turmeric, black pepper, scallions, and parsley (if desired). Allow the batter to rest for 20 minutes.
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of coconut oil.
- Ladle approximately 1/4 cup of the lentil batter into the pan, swirling it to create a thin layer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges lift and the surface is dotted with bubbles.
- Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until golden.
- Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more coconut oil as necessary.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings such as yogurt, fresh herbs, or salsa.
Notes
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of chili powder or finely chopped green chilies to the batter.
- Pair these crepes with sautéed greens or a vibrant salad for a nutritious meal.
