Ingredients

• 1 cup Red lentils
• 2 cups Water
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rinsed lentils and 2 cups of water. Let them soak for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the lentils have softened.

Step 3

Drain the lentils and place them in a blender.

Step 4

Add the eggs, baking powder, salt, and ground cumin to the blender. Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined. Add water as needed to achieve a pourable batter consistency.

Step 5

Stir in the chopped cilantro gently.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet, using the back of a spoon to spread it into a circle.

Step 8

Cook for about 2-3 minutes on one side, until bubbles form on the surface and the edges begin to set. Flip the pancake and cook for another 2 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 10

Serve warm, topped with your choice of fresh herbs, a dollop of yogurt, or a squeeze of lime juice.
