Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cup water
- 1 cup split red lentils *
- ¼ cup tapioca starch or potato/arrowroot starch
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder ( optional )
Instructions
- Start by rinsing and cleaning your lentils thoroughly. Soak them in cold water for 2-6 hours, or hot water for 20-30 minutes.
- Pour in lentils along with soaking water, tapioca starch, salt and baking powder into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
- The batter will be on the runnier side. Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes.
- Heat up a non-stick pan over medium, and grease it with some oil. Once the pan is heated, pour in ¼ cup of batter.
- Using the back of a spoon, gently spread the batter out in a circular motion. Let it cook until the top side appears dry with no wet spots, around 2 minutes.
- Gently flip the tortilla over using a flexible silicon spatula, and cook for another minute on the other side.
- Re-oil the pan after cooking every tortilla, and repeat the cooking process until the batter is all used up. Your red lentil wraps are ready to be served!
Notes
*Split red lentils - Can be substituted with whole red lentils, but you might have to increase the soaking time to at least 8 hours or overnight. Soak them in the fridge to prevent fermentation from occurring.
Helpful tips
- Speed up soaking – Instead of using cold water, use boiling water. Lentils will soften in 20-30 minutes.
- Use a high-speed blender – so that the lentils are blended up into a smooth batter instead of being gritty.
- Allow sufficient time for batter rest – This gives the grounded lentils time to rehydrate, yielding softer lentil wraps.
