I was a very skeptical when I first heard about a vegan, low-carb, high-fiber flatbread made with nothing more than red lentils and water, but I’m happy to report this really is a thing, and a very easy, delicious thing at that. Enjoy!

This works with all sorts of lentils - split yellow lentils (moong daal chhila), chikpeas (besan chhila) and whole green lentils (peserattu, does traditionally contain rice flour too though) and mixed lentils (aadai, also tends to include rice) are all traditional in India. We generally add some spices to the batter too (ginger, green chillies and such) - they're all excellent! Funnily enough, now that I think about it, red lentils is probably the only one I can't think of a traditional flatbread recipe for. Edit: Oh also, when spreading with the ladle, I usually _don't_ spread it evenly. I end up with concentric circles of thin crispy bits and thick fluffy bits, which I prefer to an uniform texture

@SuvinRK Жыл бұрын

When I saw the picture of the thumbnail I immediately thought of peserattu because of the rise, the texture, and the density.

I made this and it turned quite well. However there was a issue I had. The finished flatbread had a unpleasant aftertaste. I noticed the water was very cloudy and had tiny specs in it, possibly dirt. So I tried something a little different. 1. Thoroughly rinse your lentils. Get a colander or cheesecloth and rinse them until the water runs clear. 2. Place in bowl add water and let sit for 3 plus hours. Water will be much clearer now. 3. Before blending rinse again and add fresh water. Lentils will have absorbed much of the water so measure amount of water removed and replace with that amount. Go ahead and follow rest of procedure. Difference, aftertaste GONE. They are very flavor neutral now. I don't know what caused the aftertaste. Maybe residue or dust from the processing plant. I dont know. I know rinsing like this will eliminate 99% of the aftertaste.

Lentils are not cooked so easily and such low temperatures for so less time. Most probably it is uncooked till the end. Another thing is that fermentation of the batter overnight can help overcome the cooking problem and aftertaste.

Oh hey cool this is an unspiced lentil dosa, I discovered them years ago at a restaurant and was gobsmacked how easy they are to make. You can impress your friends with a surprisingly little amount of effort with (my favorite) masala dosa, basically just a dosa taco with spiced up potato/onion filling. There are TONS of different types of dosa too, they're like asia's crepe. Most often they're 50/50 rice and dal, dal being split lentils, peas, or other legumes, but that's not a fixed rule they can absolutely be made with just lentils - just google mixed dal dosa. The recipe is usually simply soaked rice/dal, spices, salt and water blended smooth. Edit - Just to add resting the mixture is allowing it to begin fermentation, you can leave it on the counter rather than the fridge, makes the dosa more light and bubbly, add salt after fermenting. You don't always have to put the spices in, and the spices you do put in vary a LOT depending on country, region, the food being eaten, etc. I highly recommend going down the dosa rabbit hole, they're a great tool to have in your cooking arsenal.

What you've made is a variation of a Dal Utappam - it's a South Indian dish. The reason it thickened overnight is because you lightly fermented it. If you let it ferment longer, it'd improve in flavor and texture even more. A typical uttapam includes a mix of dal and rice flour, but can be done with dal alone.

Any sort of legume will not be low carb so you want to be careful in eating these if that's your goal. I've used almond flour waffles in place of sandwich bread before. Doesn't hold together nearly as well and is quite heavy compared to the same quantity of white bread but worked well enough for me and was quite tasty too. There's also a pizza crust you can make using eggs, almond flour and melted mozzarella cheese that's actually pretty good too and you could definitely use those for wraps.

yeah exactly, the Ethiopian flatbread my wife gets looks exactly like this. she'll be stoked when I make a batch myself. unless of course I mess it up, in which case she won't be stoked at all

I made these and they were great! After some trial and error, I started at mediumish heat and raised it as it cooked. Mine were more brown and slightly charred than the ones in the video, but that's how I want it--with some crispy parts. Went great with the curry in pav bhaji (I subbed these for the buns). Later edit: Also wanted to add, I stored the extras with parchment paper between them. Refried them and got them even crisper/chewier to warm them up--so they store well and reheat well if you refry them in a nonstick pan using almost no oil. Making another batch today to use as "tortillas." I'm going to experiment with other blends of lentils and rice and lentils, but this was a good, easy gateway to dosas for me, and works as a great option for people doing no grain or no wheat diets.

And my thoughts, particularly after hearing these "taste neutral" is low carb tortillas. I'm doing a low carb diet, so I'm rather excited to try this out for quesadillas and small burritos (particularly breakfast burritos :D ) Thanks Chef John

You should also be able to ferment this batter in the oven with just the light on over night. It works with urad dahl (skinned black lentils) mixed with soaked rice for South Indian dosas.

Yeah these are a staple in Sri Lanka, they are called "dosa" and they are incredible. They usually let the batter ferment a bit and makes them taste a bit tangy 💕💕💕😁

That's one thing I always find funny about western vegans and hipsters, they'll come across something that's actually pretty common and may be centuries old and act like they just discovered it or invented it. South Asia has a bunch of legume based flat breads.

You said everything I needed to hear. I've known about this recipe for some time and was doubtful about the outcome. One can always change the flavor profile, but the texture and integrity are harder to deal with and you addressed that beautifully. I probably won't use the refrigerator when I rest the mixture overnight, hoping for a bit of fermentation, but whatever. I might try a filling of smashed potatoes, bacon, and browned onions. Thank you for such an interesting evaluation.

"How do you know they are vegans? Oh, you can tell." 😄👍👏 Thank you for this greatness, as a gluten-free person who loves wraps and flatbread and doesn't have any that work for me, I'm anxious to make this! I'm going to try different lentils & beans also, such channa dal (yummy tiny yellow split peas), mung, blackbeans, french green & tiny black lentils! We'll see how it goes. I think if you knead the legume paste longer, it kind of polymerizes it or something so it holds together better to make noodles or something like this flatbread? I long for a KitchenAid and a pasta machine to do things like this with and play around and see what I can make. I think this is going to be my kickoff for that!

I mix 1/4 cup red lentils, 1/4 cup green lentils, 1/4 cup brown rice. Soak overnight than drain and rinse. Into my high speed blender with water just a bit over the level of the grain mixture. Add 1 full sheet of seaweed, some dry onion, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a bit of wasabi then blend until I have a pourable batter. Then I follow Chef John’s method for cooking. It makes 4 nice sized wraps - 2 for breakfast, 2 for lunch with cream cheese, whatever else I feel like. Delicious! Easy! I wrap my 2 lunch wraps with clear wrap until lunch.

Amazing! Thank you. ♡ Just an opinion based on a couple of comments I've seen related to the 'low carb' part. Keto diet is, for me, playing with numbers, in this case, with the amount of carbs per day (between 20 to 50 grs). So, yes, red lentils (and legums in general) are high in carbs, BUT if you eat just a fraction per day, especially the kinds that are complex carbs and high in fiber (like this dish for example), should be just fine. I think it's important to be more flexible and allow yourself to try different ways to play with keto, or any other diet out there. One cup of red lentils have around 40 to 60 grs of carbs, so make sure to not eat the entire cup in one serving. A couple of pancakes a day will be fine, especially if you'are craving them. Be smart and confident. Eat without fear and enjoy the process.

I'm always looking for things like this, my wife was diagnosed with Hashimotos several years ago (similar to Celiac) so I've had to rethink making anything starchy in the kitchen. My first thought seeing this is adding a bit of spinach and making a chicken and feta wrap. Will DEFINITELY be doing some experiments.
