Indian Flatbreads from Red Lentils

Method

• 1
  Place the red lentils in a bowl, cover with plenty of water, and let them soak for about 8 hours (preferably overnight).
• 2
  After soaking, drain the lentils in a sieve and rinse thoroughly under cold water. Place the drained lentils together with 180 ml fresh water, 1 tbsp rapeseed oil, and ⅓ tsp salt in a blender and blend into a smooth batter.
• 3
  Preheat a medium-sized, non-stick pan (approx. 20 cm diameter) without fat over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low to medium. Bake 4 flatbreads one after another from the batter: Pour a quarter of the batter into the pan for each, and fry until golden brown for approx. 2–3 minutes on each side.

  Serve the finished flatbreads immediately warm or store them in the refrigerator and consume within 2–3 days.
