Lentil Pancakes - Real Recipes from Mums

This is a very healthy breakfast with full of nutrition. We generally have it on Sundays as breakfast or in our brunch menu. It's super easy and super healthy.

Ingredients (serves 6 | makes 14 )

500 gms Yellow split peas (dry)
1/4 cup chopped Tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped Onions
1 teaspoon Salt (add as per individual preference)
1 cup Canola or Any vegetable oil

Method

Wash and soak the lentils overnight or atleast for 5 - 6 hours
In a blender add the soaked lentils (in small quantities) and add salt and blend it into a fine thick batter. Add water to make it into a pancake batter consistency.
Add onions and tomatoes in the batter
On a hot crepe pan add 1 - 2 teaspoon oil and spread it evenly.
Take a ladle full of batter and pour it on the pan. Spread it like a pancake.
Cook each side of the batter for 1 mins on medium flame.
You can serve this pancake hot with yogurt as accompaniment.

What an interesting idea. I’d need to be really organised with the lentils though. Too bad if I forgot to soak overnight — 5 to 6 hours! Whoa!

WoOoo! So happy for this recipe as I’m on a meat cleanse for 30 days.
Thank you so much for sharing. Now I have something else to add to my cooking list after going mental buying all this fake meat yesterday.
