About Lentil cakes
Lentil cakes are a nutritious, protein-packed dish made primarily from cooked lentils, combined with ingredients like onions, garlic, herbs, and spices. These savory patties, often pan-fried or baked, are a staple in various cuisines, including South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean traditions, known for their use of lentils as a plant-based protein. Lentil cakes are rich in dietary fiber, iron, and essential vitamins like B6 and folate, making them a heart-healthy and digestion-friendly choice. Their high protein content makes them a great meat alternative for vegetarians and vegans. Lentils also have a low glycemic index, which can support stable blood sugar levels. However, frying can increase the fat content, so baking is a healthier preparation option. Lentil cakes are versatile, often paired with salads, wraps, or yogurt-based dips, making them an easy and nourishing addition to a balanced diet.
