Here’s an easy recipe to make savory lentil pancakes that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside:
Ingredients:
1 cup red lentils
2 cups water
1 onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, grated
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
Soak the Lentils:
Rinse the red lentils under cold water and soak them in 2 cups of water for about 2-3 hours, or until they’re soft.
Prepare the Batter:
Drain the lentils and place them in a blender. Add a little fresh water, and blend until you achieve a smooth batter.
Transfer the batter to a mixing bowl and stir in the chopped onion, grated carrot, minced garlic, and cumin. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
Pour a scoop of the batter into the skillet, spreading it slightly to form a pancake shape. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until the pancakes are golden brown and crispy.
