After soaking, drain any excess water and transfer the lentils to a blender.

Pour a ladleful of batter onto the skillet and spread it out gently to form a round pancake.
Step 8
Cook for 2-3 minutes or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges appear set.
Step 9
Flip the pancake and cook for another 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
Step 10
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 11
Serve hot with your choice of sugar-free chutney or yogurt.
