METHOD
- Soak the lentils in water overnight (or 8 hours)
- Drain the lentils and add to a blender / food processor with the water. Blend until you have a smooth batter. If you find you need more water, add 1-2 tbsp as needed. If your batter is too runny add 1-2tbsp of chickpea/gram flour
- Add the spices and vegetables into the mixture and stir in until fully combined.
- Heat a non stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of oil, and then add 4 tablespoons of the batter to the pan.
