The perfect solution for Gluten-free diet! I love them 💗! Also tried the one with salsa. Freezing went fine. The only problem is having to soak them when you want them now! I drained the soak water into a separate jar and stored the beans in a separate container overnight in the fridge. It worked fine as there was no waiting. I'm telling my family & friends about this miracle wrap. 😊 Thanks much for the recipes.
interesting... mine didn't freeze well at all, and I put them in a vacuum tub so they didn't lose moisture. What was your trick?
@@dougjonnaebel5704 I didn't think of it as a trick but it worked. I put the individuals in sandwich bags, and all of them in one large freezer bag. Didn't like the idea of them sticking together. Hope this helps.
What brand of lentils are you using?
Do you actually cook the lentils after soaking them for 3 hours?
You could try bean-flour - that way the soaking and blending is not necessary. I haven't found any lentil-flours, but comments here suggest that any legume works, so any bean flour should work. Bean flour is usually chickpea flour, where I live, but your mileage may vary.
In my home in India, we also add grated carrots, tomatoes, green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, teeny bit of turmeric powder, black pepper powder, whole cumin seeds to this batter. 💚
Pritha Roy Chowdhury More spice more chillies👍🏻👍🏻
Yes sounds wonderful xcept for black pepper lol thank u I will develop a northern California version via India that's where arundhati Roy lives
Yumm, makes me want to make some.
I'll try that too! Sounds delicious 💜
lentils already have a nice peppery flavor. 🙂
In South India we soak lentils and Uradh Dhal seperately for 4 hours and grind both togather and leave the batter overnight to feement.
Then we make these breads, which are called as dosa. We add pieces of onions, coriander leaves and a little bit of green chillis, pinch of salt, turmeric to the bread / dosa batter before cooking
that sounds very tasty. What is Uradh Dhal and were can I find it?👋
Sounds delicious . Thanks for the idea.
@@karingodfrey2053 I had someone make these dosa for me. She said it was black lentils and course rice.
@@karingodfrey2053 Urad dal is skinned Black gram also called Vigna Mungo. You will most likely find it in Asian stores
Mmmmmm😋
Apart from the nice result you get a "Thumbs up" just for probably having the only recipe in RUclips which actually takes exactly the two ingredients just as said (usually they say there is only two ingredients but in the end there are at least 4 more). Thank you for sharing
Usually only 2 ingredients means at least 5, 1 of which you've probably not even heard of, certainly don't have, and isn't available in your local supermarket.
This is exactly like several traditional Indian recipes. Any type of Lentil can be used especially with a little rice mixed in to balance the protein and make them more rounded. They are often lightly fermented to to increase the fluffiness and give them more of the vitamin b12 that a vegetarian diet needs. The soak times have to be adjusted to the size of the lentil. For example this lentil takes two to three hours to soak while chick peas tale six. Just bite one to make sure they are soaked enough. Add the spices like cumin, pepper, ginger, garlic, onion or cilantro to taste.
So, could this same recipe, adjusted as you said, work with chickpeans?
Exactly this takes Indian food culture doesn't adapt it properly simplifies it and doesn't provide any acknowledgement of the thousands of years old, ecologically referenced sources of this cuisine. Always a white American habit. Shameful
@@libbyholt3863 check out recipes for besan chilla which are basically crepes or pancakes made with chickpea or chickpea flour. You can try this with mung dal and that would be called mung chilla. There are so many varieties of “flatbreads” that are made with lentils, beans, rice, millets in India.

1-2-3. Easy! 1 cup lentils, 2 cups water, 3 soaking hours! I need these little tricks to remrmber😃
good on you Debby! Now THATS clever!
"It's as easy as 1, 2, 3"
Me too
Ahhh!!! I love that!!! 🥰🤩🤯 💕 it is repeating in my head like a sing-song-marching-chant 😄
MOST IMPORTANT STEP - washing before soaking is MISSING!
EUREKA! Finally "bread" with no eggs or wheat. Thank you so much!
We call it cheela here in India and it is my favourite breakfast.. easy to make, healthy and yummy.. we add chopped onions, tomatoes, cumin seeds as well as powder, chopped coriander, chillies and if you want can add hing.. 😋😋 it will become more tasty
You can also make Lentil Tofu by Cooking the batter by stirring till it thickens, pour then into a greased container, let it completely cool down, refrigerate for at least 2 hrs. Once chilled, flip over the container onto a plate and you got yourselves a beautiful Firm Soy-Free Tofu!
How do I get this recipe
My husband and I recently went vegan, but I don't like legumes! He found this recipe and wanted me to make it for him. I was so skeptical - this couldn't work! BUT IT DID! It was so easy - it held together - and it actually tasted good - just the plain version!! I am so excited (and I'm not the type to get this excited about a recipe, and this is the very first comment I ever made online). My mind is spinning with ideas for variations. I am so encouraged that I can now make this vegan thing enjoyable : ) Thanks so much for this video!!
That is sooooo wonderful Jed! I am so happy that you are enjoying them and that it has inspired you ❤️
Jed Lifsey Good vegan food is the best, as a newby u might want2 check out these site,s10 min vegan meals by The Happy Pear& Avantgardevagan. Bite Size Vegan👍🏻Don't 4get your b12,
For sure now I am going to try this recipe thanks to your comment 😊
These are indian recipes....you should look for the indian channels, you can add all kinds of veggies and spices to them...we have been eating these for centuries
My only legume food is tofu but your comment has convinced me to save this recipe.
In India, we call it "CHEELA". it's really awesome and tasty
Do you dry fry these? Does it not stick? Do you fry it on high, medium or low heat and how long does it take each side?
How is this different from a dosa?
A white woman claims it as her own now
Chella with some green chillies, dhaniya leaves n spices. Sometimes I throw in other veggies I want to get rid of too...yummm.
@@soleikam6662i Indeed , white people have often that addicted in to "discover hot water " hahah
These are perfect, no more factory bread! As an option, try adding some baking powder just before cooking. It makes them rise, and peppers the top with holes, just like a large English crumpet. They really hold any sauces this way. 😍
Thank you
How much baking powder did you use?
How much baking powder?
This is a common breakfast recipe in India made with different lentils, also with a combination of rice and vegetables. And yes, this can be made on cast-iron pans
This is just what I've been looking for. I'm celiac and buying gluten free bread is expensive. This is a great alternative.
You could use chickpea flour in the same way but I add a little baking powder, a teaspoon of ground flaxseeds, pinch baking soda, a dash of Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, spices, (turmeric tiny amount because it reacts with baking soda), veggies very fine cut or grated (onion and fresh coriander are great). This is the East Indian version of savoury fluffy pancake but you can make a plain version without spices and veggies.
Start adding very little water and make a paste first to avoid hard lumps. Gradually add more water to make a pancake batter consistency.
Camilla of power hungry website has a very simple sliced bread recipe and other items made from chickpea flour.
Also, not to steer you away from this channel but RUclips channel "skinny recipes" has gluten free recipes that may be of interest and help for you. 🙏🤗
Edit: I am not celiac but follow gluten free diet for health reasons, also my daughter has special needs.
Store gluten free breads are full of starch and other ingredients I can avoid and yes, so expensive.
Kim Wilson (deleted her website but has books), she has amazing recipes. You may find her on Facebook.
One of her recipes is on 'nourishing meals" website.
My family is also gluten free. I make my own bread with coconut flour and lots of eggs if you can eat them. Recipe is in the book Cooking with Coconut Flour by Bruce Fife.
Hey you can get creative with this stuff. Like soak one part rice / quinoa / millet with one part any lentils of your choice. Grind it next day to make batter. Let it sit for one more day & it will get fermented by wild yeast etc. You can take 2 parts brown rice / millet with one part of 'urad' & ferment it to make 'dosa' or 'idli'. Use your imagination & you can make all sorts of stuff with different taste that's all gluten free. Urad - patelbrothersusa.com/swad-organic-urad-dal/ You can use green gram, black gram etc. There are so many possibilities & it's so easy to get rid of gluten.
Raj Rani thank you for ideas. God bless you!
Gluten free breads, actually a lot of GF products, has baking powder/sodium bi carbonate which is not for our digestive tract.
Lentils feed the world.
🎉
Wow...I LOVE this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing this. I do HIGHLY recommend when hosing ANY dried lentils or beans, to go thru then bit by bit to ensure there are no little stones. I can't tell you just how often I find stones in my lentils and biting down on one will surely ruin your day (if not your entire tooth). So take the time, you'll be glad you did when you come across your 1st, 2nd 3rd...stones. And I always like to rinse the dust off my lentils, briefly, before I soak them.
I absolutely cannot wait to try this recipe! THANK YOU!
I was skeptical, but I tried it and the result was beyond my dreams. I'm gonna try some of the other variations mentioned in comments here next time! This is a recipe I will be making for the rest of my life.
Lentils are so Versatile for breads pastas third graders pastas
I've tried cooking them but they taste uncooked in the middle while outside crispy.
@@Portia620 Oh, cool! How do you make pasta f/lentils!? (High blood sugar, so always looking for low carbs, but plant based, so don't want the meat.)
@@libbyholt3863 lentils and beans, unfortunately, are not low carb. They are incredibly healthy,however!
@@mixong62 Thx for telling me that. Ugh! Trying to cover all my bases is so confusing! A dietician told me that the concept of "net carbs" on food labels also is less a fact and more a marketing ploy. At least beans are adding protein and iron. If that's not true, I'm not sure I wanna know! Lol.
We make something similar in our home with 1 part rice to half part urud dahl (white lentil), we blend, then let sit covered in a warm sunny area for 8-12 hours, it should be more risen and fluffy (batter is fermented), then we pancake them. They become even fluffier if a bit of baking soda is added. I add salt. When we're cooking ours in the pan, we top it with diced tomato, onion, carrot, pepper. We also eat with a homemade coconut chutney for extra flavour. It's called uttapam. Even healthier because it's fermented but it does take more time.
Yum!
Awesome! Do you soak the rice/lentils before blending?
@@MisterElement THE ORIGINAL RECIPE CALLS FOR SOAKED RICE & LENTILS. GREAT FLAVOR & VERY NUTRITIOUS.
✌💚🌺
The water from the soaked has some enzymes that are not the best to really eat for digestion, you could soak them pour off the water into measuring cup to see how much drainage occurs and then replace that with the same amount of fresh water.
I found it strange that the lentils weren't washed, too
Maybe she didn't show the washing. Always soak legumes, rinse and use fresh water. 🌱
Or weigh it
@@claudialu You don't need to soak red lentils. They just become mush - like they do here for this batter. Rinse before soaking for the recipe, yes, but no need to soak before the steps in this video. I've made these probably 50 times and never had any gastric issues. They are delicious and very adaptable.
Thank you. I just going back to plant base whole eating. I don't want to eat bread/wheat. This is perfect.
I’ve been making these for years. They’re perfect for pizzas, too!
Yeah! We love them with Tom puree mixed with garlic fried in oil in a ladle and covered in cheese and olives
What kind of frying pan did you use? Mines just kept sticking and not getting cooked properly.
@@jesussaves8502 She just made an update video with a carbon steel pan!
Is the bread stiff enough to be used for pizzas?
@@MV-bj1yk you need to bake it first and then it gets crunchy
I was going to write a letter to the makers of a popular/famous "sprouted bread" I force myself to eat because I couldn't find a "bread" substitute. I wanted to tell them they needed to do something to it at nearly $8.00 a loaf. Whenever I wanted bread I would have to force feed it to myself...the taste was like eating "dry wood splinters with a wish for salt"... OMG! I am so on to this life saving recipe. I like the DIY of it...I like the softness of it... I knew there had to be something else you could do with "red Lentils". I am subscribing now and I am on a hunt for Red LENTILS. I do want to add though... your blender is "OVERKILL". LUV YA!
All lentils and beans work, Just soak longer. The creaminess comes from the blender. All legumes have similar properties. Add a grain- 2x the amount then the legumes. Make dosa-it's a fermented version of this: Recipe-2x grain, 1 x legume. Soak both overnight. Drain water, then puree with blender by adding water back in until a bit thinner than pancake batter,
I was looking for a dosa recipe
Thank you! I’ve been trying to wean myself off bread for ages and this, the simplest of recipes, is going to help immensely. I’m 56 and can’t believe I’ve never come across this before. Still, we live and learn, and better late than never, eh? Thanks again for sharing :D
Im just loving how ALL~INCLUSIVE this recipe is! Its not just for us vegans, its for almost everyone!
Celiacs can safely eat it, as can Vegetarians, even the Keto crowd might enjoy it if they're longing for carbs like bread or cake!
Also its super cheap! i got half a dozen wraps out of my go at this recipe...so what does a cup of lentils & a bit of electricity cost? ...um...around 50 cents maybe?? Perfect for tight budgets! Come on in...Uni students, pensioners, households with big eaters or families with loads of mouths to feed!
Plus its great for those of us who are trying to be salt-free, fat-free, sugar-free, or all 3! And its soooo easy to make, even people who never cook could give it a crack! THANK~YOUUUUUU once again (as always) Jill xox
Fantastic ❤️
lentils aren't low carb btw. great for you and high in protein - but definitely not low carb
@@metislamestiza3708 sorry mate. yes you're right. i meant it's a healthy complex carb. not like one of the junky carbs like white bread or standard cakes & cookies.
@@CastledarkDweller27 100 percent right! we make them into a delicious bread which is better for me than anything gluten :)
Flat bread is actually Indian chela, near dosa, and many other names given in other provinces,.Indian version is lively as they have spices and herbs and often vegetables.Eating them with chutneys, achars and other dry masalas is really delicious.
Masala dosa is addictive
this is so funny I was ridiculed for eating these in America at lunch time in school...
We call it Bara in my country.
You can make this with pretty much any type of lentils, or even beans like mung, chickpea or peas.
Can this be made with soy beans?
Thank you. I'm in Brazil and I wanted to know if I can make it with brown lentils, which is what we have here
@@antoipepper didnt see your reply sooner. Yes it can be made with soybeans but it won't be as tasty.
Bara? We have as an accompaniment to lentils, and call them Doubles x
Can this be made with dhal/yellow split peas?
Did you notice how beautifull plants make people ?
❤
Food fact: Red lentils are the insides of brown lentils. With their skins removed, red lentils produce a creamy batter. Also possible using moong or tur dals.
Wow never knew that, thanks
Lmfao this isn't true
@@radstf6342 Red lentils are actually Yellow lentils that have been split and hulled. I looked it up because it sounded not true to me as well.
I just tried it. I soaked it in the fridge for exactly 3 hours since i hadn't eaten yet. Measurements were exact, but my batter didn't seem as rich as yours so I was worried, especially when my first attempt with a ladle failed miserably. I took to pouring it in the center of the pan, since it was in a cup with a pour corner. I needn't have worried. I tried my first one with peanut butter and a tsp of no sugar added fruit jam, and it was amazing! Thank you!
Soak out of the fridge. ❤
I make them in my waffle maker, I like a little bit of crispiness to the outside. Just cook until the lid comes up easily.
Me too! Works excellent!
Does it stick?
@@shondaet I spray the waffle maker with a bit of oil and it works excellent.
I also add a bit of ground flax seeds.
It stuck. Did not work AT all. Ugh!
I made these today, I presoaked my lentils(what I had on hand that needs to get used) over night. I drained the water out as all those gases in the water upset my tummy. I used a strainer to drain them over a measuring cup so ended up being 1 cup of water that needs to be added once they are drained and rinsed. I used a small non stick frying pan to make mine, let it heat up hot before pouring batter in(2 1/2 heaping tablespoons batter) and no oil needed! My seasoning mix comprised of tomato powder, basil, garlic, dash of Himalayan salt. These will go perfect with salads or to have my scrambled eggs, or seafood with. Yum, so quick and easy thank you!! Updated to add I was able to make 10 flat breads 4 1/2- 5 inch size.
@Op Hs You welcome thank-you!!
Thank you I will have to drain them too
Thank you for this! I’m trying to calculate the nutrition and knowing the yield is very helpful.
Excellent, informative comments Linda, thank you!!
@@evabrooks7456 You welcome.
I made this today and it is fantastic. I soaked the lentils overnight. I was afraid it would be too runny, so I took out about 1/4 cup of the water before I put the lintils in my VitaMix. Figured I could add the water back if I needed to, but didn't. I also added 1/2 teasp of baking powder. I will try different spices and things as I experiment. Made them thin and they turned out perfect in my nostick pan. Didn't use the spray because my pan advised not to use nostick spray on nostick surfaces. Does something to the nostick finish. Just a paper towel with a little olive oil on it before each batch. I can see using this recipe from now on. Only problem is I can't stop eating them. Thank you so much, Jill. Stay safe.
I’m so glad you are enjoying them 😊😊
The thing I love about a fundamental recipe like this is it is decent as is but there is so much you can experiment with using this as a base. Just great.
We absolutely love this recipe. I too didn't believe it could be this good. I now make these and use them in our vegan lasagne instead of lasagne sheets and we also cut and bake them in the air fryer and eat them with dip. Yum as !!
GREAT IDEA!!!!!!
How many degrees and time in the air fryer??
@@nikki10114 about 160 degrees and cooked until they looked and felt crisp
Stunning idea! I've always shied away from lasagne, as gluten doesn't like me. This should work a treat!
You just bake them as is in the fryer, or do you oil them?
Please search Making Dosa to see how to ferment this batter for an even more flavorful flat bread!
I made those with lentils and brown rice and was amazing!! Fermented so well I even made a bread!!
Can we ferment the batter if its only made of lentils? I cant have rice, but i want to try fermenting the batter
2, no 3 things: love the tiles, love the recipe, and thank you so much for having the music the right volume. That last one is a biggie, lol.
You had me at Flatbread. I am a struggling vegan on a budget. These breads are delicious and healthy choices. Red lentils are my favorites.
I don’t have a good no stick pan 🙄 but what I did was lined a cookie tray with parchment paper and put a thin layer of the mixture on it and baked it at 350 until golden brown on top then flipped it work well just cut it in how big u want it
LouAnne L no prob
Thank you for this tip! I was just wondering if using parchment paper on a frying pan might work, too. I Googled it. Apparently, if you add a little oil to the pan and brush or distribute it evenly around the bottom of the pan, you can put a piece of parchment paper on top of it and fry on the parchment paper instead. Parchment paper is, of course, non-stick. The oil just glues the paper to the pan and helps the heat to warm the paper more evenly but the paper does not absorb it, so it's still oil-free cooking in terms of the food. Your method sounds even easier! Did it come out soft, or a little bit crispier?
Update: I tried this and it did NOT work at all. The bottom of the flatbread did not brown and the whole thing did not cook through properly. I ended up putting it into the oven, as suggested above.
I'm going to try this, as there are times I'm eating for example a kale and bean mixture, and it lends itself better to a square shape than a round in that case.
Thank you! I never could fry, non matter what pan, even when I still used all the oil I thought I wanted. Has anyone tried it with a baking mat?
I have exactly one cupof lentils in the cupboard; I have soaked it now and waiting for the 3hrs to go and make them😁😁, I love lentils
I've been plant based for just over 5 years and I'm still learning from you! This recipe is DIVINE! A staple! Thank you!!!!!!!!
Plants have rights too. It's time to stop exploiting plants.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂@@grahamreid7017
I was reading comments bellow and it made me think about how wonderful our world is. Thank you all for sharing your ideas and wisdom (rinsing) .
I have been making these in the toaster oven because it was sticking to the pan I have that has lost its non stick surface. I use parchment paper and bake at 425 for 15 min and flip and bake further for 5 min. I lay the lentil batter fairly thick so there are no thin areas. I got this time frame and temperature after watching a RUclips channel that did the same with quinoa and water. Please keep in mind you might need to work with a different temperature and timing due to oven variations. Recently I topped one with garlic powder, chili powder, nutritional yeast and a little salt before baking and the taste was fabulous. After toasting I top with hummus or another type of bean sauce and vegetables. The other one I top with chestnut butter (puréed chestnuts and water) and top with all fruit jam. Equally delicious. Thanks for the lentil bread idea!
Please don't use that pan again. Its extra toxic when the coating has peeled.
@@skylarkblue4853 Thank you for the tip. The pan is non stick ceramic and it is not a very old pan but was never very good with non stick from the beginning. Not sure why it sticks. Maybe I need to season it. What do you think?
@@dinamariea61Non stick ceramic is supposed to be good, but it seems strange that your lost that feature. You shouldn't have to season it. Is it possible to return it?
@@skylarkblue4853 I don’t think I can return it now since I did not return it right away and I no longer have the receipt. I may just toss it or donate it and get a new non-stick pan. It is still good for non-stick purposes but I have other pans that serve that purpose. Thanks again for your reply. 🙂
I’ve been looking for a tortilla substitute that won’t break my bank. Both of my kids are allergic to gluten and store bought average around $1.00 per tortilla. THANK YOU!❤️ subbed
In the US, the red lentils are split with seat coats removed. That is why they are prepared faster than the whole lentil. The others may be used for this recipe, but the soaking time will be much longer.
I just made these and they're great! Soaked the lentils with the regular amount of water and a teaspoon each of onion powder and garlic powder. Cooked them in my waffle iron, using the cooking plates for pancakes instead. These breads cooked in 3 minutes, no burning, and they are the perfect size for veggie burgers!
I am making these tonight and I can’t wait! I’ve soaked mine overnight because my blender isn’t the best so I figured I would give the lentils more time to get soft. I am imagining slathering hummus all over these and stuffing them with all sorts of veggies! #veganliving 🌱🙌🏼💚
This show has been incredibly helpful to me! So many foods make my chronic illness symptoms worse and this type of diet has been the only thing that consistently works for me. The recipes shared on this channel are delicious and have made things so much easier for me, thanks!
I get pain all over from lentils & green peas. It may be free glutamate. Other legumes are OK.
@@DK-cp2en , have you noticed peas are GMO verses God made now. If you are badly allergic to GMOs see if you can locate organic peas, or a Trader Joe's that carries them, like me you may be fine on the God made ones.
Shayla Bradley, check oils. GMO canola is hidden as 34% of various oils packed by the mafia. It swells the lungs to stiff
and about half breath capacity on many of us. All other allergies double in severity for 48 hours or more if it is consumed. Look for oil with the blue butterfly, or any oil in Trader Joe's. Also nonorganic dairy concentrates GMO corn fed to the cows, so drop dairy a few weeks and restart on organic only. If acne, wash face with organic honey not soap. If hand arthritis, that is best fixed with Floressence tea, 3 months 2x daily, to remove the pesticides. You may refrigerate and drink cold, but don't touch it or its water to plastics.
Glad for you❤❤❤❤
Wow! I never would have thought to make a flatbread using just lentils and water. I made it yesterday using brown lentils that I let soak overnight and my children and I really liked it. My children ate theirs with honey. I ate one with honey, one with chickpea salad (mock tuna salad), and another with homemade gravy using Morningstar breakfast "sausage." Savory or sweet.....it was great when used both ways. Thx for sharing.
Eeew on the morning Star. Has monsanto.
Thank you so much for this! At home, we call all versions of bread cooked in pans 'pan bread' and the first bread, the one we eat up because it is ugly, is actually the much coveted 'practice bread' and we will gather around the pan to enjoy that one!
Thank you for the recipe. I decided to try this a month ago as I have a gluten intolerant son and his bread is very expensive. Since then I have made about 7 batches. My whole family cant get enough. Today my son used one as a pizza base. It worked great. Thank you.
I avoid flour but really miss bread. These quick and easy lentil flatbreads perfectly satisfy that craving.
Just tried this recipe and it is wonderful. As a coeliac who also can't eat any processed food, I'm always looking for tasty bread alternatives (gluten free bread is full of very unhealthy rubbish) and this is one of the best because it's so easy. Today I had it with chia seed strawberry jam and it was delicious. I've plenty left for lunch tomorrow with houmous and salad - can't wait. Can see I'll be making a second batch very soon. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
Could you explain how you make the Chia seed strawbeery jam,?
@@Maria__57you can cook down some strawberries until they’re “jammy” and then add whatever sweetener you like and just a couple tbsp of whole chia seeds,, lots of recipes online though :)
Thank you for being real and using your hands.
I love this. I have made a socca before: besan, water, pepper. Most socca recipes call for oil. Besan flour wants to stick readily to almost any surface without oil.
This works better.
I also made this by baking the whole recipe in a 9x13 Pyrex casserole lined with parchment paper. It’s a time saver. 350°F for 25 minutes in my oven. I got 12 rectangles out of it that way. I will add 1/2 t pepper next time.

Smart idea!
I have tried it, and oh my goodness! It’s amazing 😉. I spiced it up a little, with red onion, 2 cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt, amazing 😉!
The issue with not rinsing the soaked lentil is that you leave the lectins there. An easy way to determine how much water to have in the recipe is to mark the measuring cup after the lentils have soaked but before you rinse the lentils to remove the lectins (and gas causing polysaccharides on the skin).
Couldn't you rinse the lentils before you soak them?
@@chiaroscuro6655 both
Or maybe just strain the lentils over a measuring cup 😂
@@chiaroscuro6655 The lectins are within the lentils and are released into the water I think, which is why it's good to rinse after soaking. I wouldn't thinking rinsing before does much.
These can be added some coriander salt green chillies to taste can be served with apple and other chutneys!! Yumm!
I used split yellow peas soaked for 18 hours. The flatbread was delicious. Thanks for this recipe! Today I will try it with red lentils.
Do you soak them in the fridge?
Thanks for the tip about yellow split peas instead!

What a charming woman you are.......I've been a vegan for nearly 38 years and never heard of these - live and learn something new every day!. Shall be making these pancakes tomorrow.
vegan folks can learn a lot from cultures that have been eating this way for a long long time.

I ground the lentils into a cornmeal texture and soaked it in 2 parts water for 3 hours. To the 3 cups of the batter I added a half teaspoon of baking powder and quarter teaspoon salt. As a test, I filled a fruit nappie halfway and nuked it for 2 min and 22 seconds. Delicious, with the texture of a corn muffin. The 3 cups of batter will probably make 12 muffins. Thanks for inspiring me.
Red lentils or any lentil?
I made this today and it is absolutely my answer to bread, etc
Thank you for sharing
Amazed by how easy these are. For a health and video idea seeking person like me this is a dream come true!
Awesome. Am in lockdown at the moment with an abundance of red lentils but no bread.
Please tell me this was sarcasm! Hahahah if not, perfect!
Aryn Morcom haha it was real. Unfortunately, my food processor wasn’t up to the task. Chopped up lentil mush in water doesn’t have the necessary flow.
lol, great
Sounds about right
even brown lentils will work.i find all of them tasty .i put salt and pepper in my ,when i go to mix it in the blender
I was soooo skeptical about these - but then I made them last night and THEY ARE SO GOOD! Easy to blend, easy to flip, hold their shape amazingly well, and I can actually roll them up, fold them, etc. Made for a delicious peanut butter banana wrap for breakfast this morning - a great alternative to oats as my stomach cannot always handle them in the morning. Thanks for the great recipe!
@Kingsley Mezsaros. I had to send you a quick note re: oats.
When I saw your comment, I wanted to offer an idea. I love oats, but EVERY time I consumed them, I felt sick. Sick like I have to lay down.
Fast forward to the allergist. Oats were one of my top sensitivities. Upon further investigation, I discovered that people can be sensitive to a protein in oats called AVENIN.
Now I feel validated, and don’t even get tempted to eat anything with oats.
Be well.

I tried this with green lentils (used what I had in the pantry) and they came out creamy and yummy! I will try the red lentils to see the difference. Thanks for this super easy recipe. 🧡❤💛
Wow I really love it . Never knew lentil can be made into breads. It's very healthy. I really like vegan life🎉
Just made these for the first time...and wow they are amazing. I Didn't know lentils could do this. Definitely is now a staple in my cupboard. Thanks for sharing.
I don’t use non stick pans but was determined to try these. I used my stainless steel skillet and it worked! I got the pan hot (no oil) and poured the batter.... the trick is NOT to touch them before they are cooked ... then they flip easily. I added savory spices and they were very good. Thank you for sharing. 👍
Fantastic! 👍
Thanks Delores, I have stainless steel as well!
Dolores Vassallo Thanks for mentioning that. I was afraid to try with my steel pan but I will give it a try. How long on he pan before you flipped roughly, about 3 minutes or so?
@@dinamariea61 I didn't time them - but 3 minutes sounds about right. I just 'peeked' and when they were good and done - flipped. I also added spices because I didn't want them for peanut butter :)
thanks very much for your comment as i dont use or have nonstick cookware. im wondering why the batter didnt stick to the pan
Finally, a pancake version of flatbread after a dozen of failed searches.
Really not up to the kneading types.
Watching this on Valentine's Day 2023.... can't wait t try making these!
i think i live on Lentil lol. i eat them 3 times a week.Simple recipe but great. Lentil is a great source of Protain, low in calories, anti inflammatory and may reduce several Heart disease risk. Improves Digestion, diabetes control, cancer management. weight loss and prevention of Anemia. and it also improves electrolytic activity do to Potassium. i love them.
Very true
Have you tried the pasta made with green lentils. Bought on amazon and its really yum. ☺ ♥
Which are Your best lentils recipies?
Thank you
Works great split into two bowls. Microwave 2-3min. Then toast in toaster oven...makes a great English muffin!❤️🌿✨
Thanks for the idea
thank you for your recipes.
I've been using cast iron for many years and if it's seasoned it's much better than modern nonstick pans.
I added Curry powder to the batter. Next, I added black mustard seed and cummin seed plus a pinch of hing to melted ghee until the seeds popped. I sauteed cabbage in this. Finally, after spreading the batter, I topped with the cabbage, cooked the 3 minutes, flipped and finished the final 3 minutes. Yum!
I used hot paprika!
That sounds really nice. 😉 I think they need spices of some sort, or they are pretty bland. I also toast them, and they do freeze well.
Wanting to get away from whole grain pitas, I tried this red lentil flat bread an hour ago....How the heck is it possible 2 ingredients tastes so good and fills me up? This is both fabulous and unbelievable. Please support Jill and Jeff by joining their site (like I just did), my Starbucks coldbrew bill dwarfs what it cost to support them. Please keep going you guys! (request, invent a non-wheat flour pita for us if you can ;)
Totally Delish, easy and filling!
Thank you
Amazing recipe, both me and my boyfriend really liked these lentil flatbreads! Already shared this recipe with my mum and my friend. My only recommendation would be to add some salt to the mixture just to enhance their taste and then top them up with either sweet or savoury toppings.
Thank you
Let it sit for a day. Batter will get fermented by wild yeast. Will make it more flavorful.
@@user-ml9nt9je4w on the counter or in the refrigerator?
Incredible the fact that they came out soft and fluffy I was not expecting that. I can’t wait to try this recipe.
A couple of teaspoons of cornmeal helps moderate the slightly harsh taste of the lentils I use. I make these often. They also crisp up nicely in the toaster oven at low heat.
Great tip 👍
Oo, I like that idea! Always looking for a cornbread substitute (grew up in USA South).
A trick i learned making pancakes, heat fry pan until a drop a water makes a bounce a disappears then the pan ready for pancakes none stick to bottom.
Ty. I had a real problem with them sticking
@@florencechavez1017 you are welcome that why i posted it to help with that problem.
The water drop bounces?
@@hibiscusflower5911 and disappears the pan is hot and ready for pancakes.
I’d definitely discard the soaking water. It has the dirt, starch and phytates from the lentils. Looks great though and I’m gonna make them, but be sure to rinse the sprouting lentils and use clean water to blend. Looks yummy!

I'm originally from Canada currently living in California ☀️☀️and you where are you from if i may ask?💭
Simply rinse before soaking.
Good idea 👍🏼
However, when working with dried legumes, nuts, rice like this, you should rinse it several times before soaking overnight. Then pour out the soaking water and add a new cup of water.
I rinsed mine to much I think because when I went to blend them it was very liquidy and foamy and wouldn’t cook properly. ):
I’ve been making this now for more than a year, also make it with white Dahl which I don’t know what it’s called but it tastes even better to me. Thank you for a total habit changing recipe🙏🙏🙏
Saw this and was I inspired!!
Trying different variations on a theme.
Made the batter a bit thinner, 5 min on med heat for first side (10" round), 3-5 min on other side depending on thickness.
Take off heat and cut into wedge shapes, best if the round is still a bit soft.
Into the air fryer till crisp (or convection oven).
Serve as tortilla chips! With salsa, hummus, and of course peanut butter.
Great crunchy snack. No gluten, no nasty oils, seasoned as you like (tried 1tsp flavoured salt with 1c lentils, may try 2 next time).
Red lentils will be on my shopping list quite often, for sure!
p.s. 2tsp salt is ok. 1tsp if you want to season later.
Keep temp in air fryer medium, just to crisp (dry out) don't over cook.
If you have leftovers, reheat the next day to recrisp! Improves flavour as well.
Wash lentils first, then soak in brine (2 tsp salt/2cup water) that was used to prepare batter.
Next I'll be trying lentil tacos with this recipe with a taco shell rack in the conv oven.
Should be good.
Fantastic 👍
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Me again.
Yeah, the red lentil taco shells are certainly a thing!
Take the wrap and using a taco mold (for use in oven, mine does 4 at a time) lay the wraps over the metal forms and bake in a 400F convection over for 15min or until crisp.
These work great. They have such a nice crunch and don't tend to break apart like some corn tacos I've had.
All the best!
@@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow Tried making these with different pans, used a Lodge Round Griddle and it works well. Used a fish turner spatula to lift it off the skillet, it is a bit tricky, but turned the heat down a bit. Happy to not need the non-stick with this. Other cast iron didn't work as well.
I love that soaking and blending works so well i usually mix besan flour with water and fry
i rinsed my lentils firs... But keeping my soaked water. I did it overnight the first time. 💜🥰
YOU ARE MY PEOPLE. Extremely simple food with peanut butter on it. Thanks for this.
Hello, India we call " Masoor Dal" we eat with cooked rice, also mixed rice and Dal/ pl. with oil, onion, garlic and chilli and salt, try our recipe, sure will be testy, high protein. Thanks 🙏 Zz
Do you have a you tube channel to see this made.
Hello from California
Omg! I've been vegetarian for 9 months now and I love lentils and I'm sooooo excited to try this recipe!
Oh, my! I LOVE lentils too. I recently bought Persian Red Lentils which are a whole red lentil and they are fabulous. Australian farmers are growing all sorts of lentils and other pulses and it is excellent. We are also growing chia and quinoa here in Australia.
I also love Beluga Black lentils and French Puy Lentils. Love, love, love them all!
Love the comments section, thanks for the tips
That‘s a really great idea! Easy to follow too 👍
Thanks for the SIMPLEST of recipes! I've been experimenting with other lentils and beans. MUNG beans are my favorite so far. It's so easy to toss sauteed pepper and mushroom on and fold it over as an omelette. Split peas and regular brown lentils were good. I even tried black-eyed peas.
Are you using the green bell peppers?
Awesome! I love BEPeas. You didn't have to cook them first? I will def be trying that!
If you make the paste with less water so it is very thick, add onions, cilantro and chilies plus seasoning and spices of your choice, then fold it into small balls and air fry or deep fry, they will come out yummy.
What temperature did you use and for how long? Sounds yummy!
@@Mygraciously I used air fry option on my air fryer. I believe it is 400 degrees for 20 minutes
When you soak the lentils/beans/nuts, they relese a lot of their their fytic acids, lectins and antinutrients into the water. Fytic acid, lectins etc can make it more difficult to absorb minerals. Lentils also need to either be rinsed in hot water before cooking, or soaked, to relese another substance that can cause allergies in some cases. It can be better to rinse them and change the water, to get rid of those substances.
Really nice recepie, and a great video! 😊❤
I just bought a ton of red lentils. Now I know what I'm doing with them!

This is an unfermented variant of the traditional South Indian adai or uttapam or dosa. I'd encourage people to search for authentic recipes of these for an even better & more nutritious meal.
I love dosa! Its had to get in the uk though. I miss india for the food
Do you have a good recipe?..one that you use frequently? thanks
@@lydiapetra1211 you can just leave the same batter to sit for 24-48 hrs and you will see it bubble up like a sourdough starter. I usually use 2 parts Lentils to 1 part white or brown rice and again double the amount of water. So for example, 2 cups Lentils, 1 cup rice and 6 cups of water. The beauty of a batch this big is that you could try the unfermented version after 3 hours, then make some a day later and the final batch a day later. This way you get to see how much the fermentation improves the flavour, let alone the accessibility of the nutrients. Will have a slight sourdough taste to it that will get stronger the longer you ferment. I have been messing around with type and amount of lentils and rice during Lockdown and it seems to work regardless. So really experiment if you like the first results.
@@Pazzathecat wow... thanks so very much ..do you leave it outside on the counter or stick it in the fridge?
Thanks so very much again!
I will definitely try it..
@@lydiapetra1211 my pleasure, have gone a little crazy with the fermentation over the last 12-18 months and hard not to share when a window opens. Although only started on these in the last 2 months. Just leave it out open if possible. With the recent heat in the UK I had to put film/wrap over due to worries about fruit flies buzzing around.
I made these tonight, and they're incredible! The batter was a little thick I think - not sure if my lentils were more dry, or something else going on, but what a promising start!
I think next time I might thin my batter just a bit, and I'll definitely be doing smaller batches flavored with different stuff. I can't wait to try mexican spices for tortillas!
Not too worried about cookware coatings as much as all the off gassing from the kitchen cabinets, countertops, wall/ ceiling paint, and flooring material/ adhesives. Cast iron is your best choice if you are concerned about cookware coatings. The added iron intake from cast iron cooking is a plus. Life can never be hazard free. Thanks for sharing your flatbread recipe. I think a bit of added soymilk, baking powder and baking soda would turnout some fine pancakes.👍
