Delicious and healthy red lentil pancakes made with split red lentils, ginger, green chili, and cilantro.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup split red lentils (masoor dal)
  • 3 cups water (for soaking lentils)
  • 1 green chili
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup water (for grinding)
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons oil

Instructions

  1. Rinse 1 cup of split red lentils under cool running water. Place in a bowl, add 3 cups of water, and soak for at least 4 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse again.
  2. Transfer soaked lentils to a blender. Add 1 green chili, 1-inch ginger, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and ½ cup water. Blend until smooth and thick, adding more water a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach a pourable consistency.
  3. Stir in 2 tablespoons of finely chopped cilantro into the batter.
  4. Let the batter rest for at least 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
  5. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add about 1 teaspoon of oil and spread evenly. Pour a ladleful of batter and swirl to spread into a thin circle (6-8 inches).
  6. Cook for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form and edges look set. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter, adding oil as needed.
