Ingredients
- 1 cup Red lentils
- 2 cups Water
- 0.5 cup Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Carrot, grated

- 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
Step 2
In a bowl, soak the rinsed lentils in 2 cups of water for 2-3 hours until they are softened.
Step 3
Drain the lentils and transfer them to a blender. Add 0.5 cup of fresh water to blend the lentils into a smooth batter.
Step 4
Transfer the lentil batter to a mixing bowl. Stir in the chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, cumin powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, black pepper, and chopped cilantro.
Step 5
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Scoop about 1/4 cup of the lentil mixture into the skillet. Gently spread it to form a pancake.
Step 7
Cook for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the additional tablespoon of olive oil as needed.
Step 8
Serve the lentil pancakes warm, optionally with a side of yogurt or chutney.
