These Indian crepes are a nutritious and protein-packed breakfast or snack option. Made with a blend of red lentils, green lentils, and flavorful spices, they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup red lentils
  • 1/2 cup green lentils
  • 1/4 cup chickpea flour
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onions
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped tomatoes

Instructions:

Wash and soak red lentils and green lentils separately for 4-5 hours

Drain the lentils and grind them into a smooth batter separately, using minimal water

The consistency should be like pancake batter

Mix well to form a smooth batter

Add water if needed to adjust the consistency

Heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil

Pour a ladleful of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a thin, even circle like a crepe

Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown, then flip it over and cook the other side until it's cooked through and crispy

Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding a little oil to the skillet before each crepe

Serve the multi-lentil protein-packed Indian crepes hot with chutney, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce
