    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

@Levianthion Give it a go and find out. Perhaps 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda added to the lentil/water mix to soften the skins. Just give it all a stir and let rest for the 3 hour minimum time before blending. All you have to lose is a cup of lentils, 2 cups of water, a little salt and baking soda. Add the salt after soaking. Probably just fine without the baking soda if you rest overnight in water alone.

@Recovering Soul Hmm, a breakfast crepe twist. Nutella and berries/fruit, Almond/peanut/nut butter & preserves etc. Cream/cottage/farmers cheese sweet or savory for non vegan peeps. Brilliant. What I really like, and have just realized after reading the comments, is that this is an example of foundational East Asian/Indian staple I was completely ignorant of before seeing this. Chef John just reminded us of a historic food culture from the age of non leavened bread. Not sure if the 'Easter egg' was intentional but I'll gratefully take it. Chef John must be protected at all costs.

This is very similar to a South Indian flatbread called dosa which is made from soaked rice. The batter is ground & left to ferment for a bit, before cooking on the stove just like a crepe. It’s eaten with curries for breakfast & it’s great! ❤

I came back to thank whoever said to add green onion or to make them sweet with adding maple syrup & cinnamon! I made my first batch and played around with all 3 variations, I'll make them again but add more herbs to some to use for wraps and I successfully sold my kids on the new "protein pancakes"! The maple flavor really shines through, I think it will be a great mess free alternative to grab running out the door!

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.

@Sayonara "a Muslim will always degrade South Indian culture" I think you mean "impinge" just as you are impinging Muslim culture in your comment. Ethiopia isn't Muslim and neither is their bread. And besides, what century do you think the migration of fermented flatbread would have occurred? There weren't any Muslims back then, maybe not even a Jew or a Hindu.

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.

In India, they're made with a mix of lentils and rice, called 'dosas', or a crisp crepe. Variations are also made of a mixture of different lentils, as well as chick pea, - fresh chopped onion, cilantro, finely sliced ginger, green chillies, toasted cumin seeds, can all be added for flavor. Scrumptious with chutneys and vegetable stews.

I tagged this several.months ago, and the recipe suggested that you could add Italian herbs, onions, garlic and onion powder, or for a sweet version, vanilla and maple syrup. So glad you posted this cuz I've been hesitating to take the plunge, and now I'm gonna just do it! I might even separate the batter and season it 2 or 3 ways to see what we like best. I also like your tip of putting in the fridge overnight to thicken

I once bought a 4lb bag of red lentils from a local small shop a long time ago and I'm only recently seeing the bottom of the container lmao. I rinse them well first in a fine mesh sieve like you do any legume, and they cook on the stove in ~15 minutes so they are fantastic for a fast wfh lunch; and you can flavor them with pretty much anything savory (I like tossing in a broth cube and some nutritional yeast for simplicity if I'm low on energy spoons).

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.

"How do you know they are vegans?

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!

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.

It's like a non fermented dosa. Would highly recommend to thoroughly wash the lentils before pureeing them. Also if you leave the batter outside in a warm place there will be some fermentation which adds a pleasant tanginess and airiness to the final product

The recipe is really super excellent and super easy to make! The 2:1 ratio of yellow split peas to water is also perfect! For anyone who needs to avoid carbs due to diabetes this super simple recipe is super awesome....! The REAL key is to let the pancake / flatbread brown at least double the time shown is your video. That way the flatbread gets a browner and crispier pancake-like outside which makes the flatbread firmer and crunchier in texture and taste! I let dried yellow split peas hydrate for 2 days and then used a hand blender to blend the split yellow peas and water mixture as that is all I had handy. However, that worked! I then let the mixture sit in the fridge overnight to let any small bits of the yellow split peas hydrate and in the morning I had (after a little mixing) I had a heavy cake batter like yellow split pea mixture. Cook in a non stick pan till the first side is light to medium brown and then flip. Let the other side brown the same and serve with hummus or any chip or veggie dip you have handy. Excellent low carb replacement for rice and breads! One could also easily experiment with other lentils as well as lentils are both inexpensive, low on the glycemic index, a good source of protein, and come in many different varieties.

@Arthas Menethilnot the same as Dosa at all! This is MUCH simpler, though not as good tbh

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.

these are called "chilla" in western indian cusine. Can use chickpea flour/ soaked and grinded chickpea as well, can also put veggies in it to give it body/flavour (eg, chillies, cilantro, red onion finely chopped,etc) .. also we have something called dosa, when you mix it with rice flour/ soaked and grinded rice and lentils (3:1 part) .. really tasty as well.

I made the batter yesterday and fried some up for a pulled pork wrap today. Came out fantastic. I added a bit of turmeric and cayenne to the batter. Perfect.

I’ve been looking for low carb alternatives for bread and starch since I started back in July. I’ve lost 52 lbs since then and want to hit my goal weight still(another 25 lbs down) but man do I miss bread and pasta and tortillas. Hopefully this works

Thank you, chef John, for the recipe! Just tried it this morning for breakfast and it was delicious! I made it with tuna, spinach & mayo, but I'm sure scrambled eggs with go along well to. Now I have your two go to recipes - pizzadilla and this one ! Thanks again :)

This recipe is called Chilla in India. But we also do a lot of combinations with dals like moong dal or any other dal. I also add Sooji for some crispiness along with usual spices .

I looked for "red lentils," but Chef John... all I could find was ORANGE LENTILS! Yes, Pereg Natural Foods markets them as such. Not quite a dosa, but close and much simpler. I'm experimenting with cashew milk and a small addition of flax seed meal next. My thanks!

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.

Made a stack of these and put leftovers in the fridge. Tried an experiment: put olive oil in the pan and toasted/fried these for a minute. ... oh what a good idea. Still soft inside, that little crisp outside.

I'm making this tomorrow. I've been eating vegetarian lately, and I love lentils, so I'm kinda surprised I never thought of this; I mean I have tried to make cakes and breads out of all sorts of legumes and grains, but for some reason not the humble lentil.

I made these today and used them to make Flatbread pizzas. I wish I had known about this before spending $10 a pop for sad gluten free frozen pizzas. Next I'm going to try making them sweet as I've seen other commenters recommend.

This is very similar to dal ka cheela- a very common street food in west India. We add ginger, cumin and coriander to the batter and serve it with mint chutney and garlic dip.

Great video. This is very common bread made in India using lots of different types of pulses. It is called CHILLA in India. If you search youtube for CHILLA you will find tons of recipes with lot of combinations of pulses, spices and vegetables.

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.

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.

My mom makes this with lentils, roasts them slightly them grinds them and that’s the mix of lentils with little fenugreek and the flatbread is crispy to be eaten with sira hai type Indian delicacy and churned butter. It’s heaven, absolute, when it’s hot from the pan to the plate. Love it, but it’s not as liquid as here, it’s rather a dough We also make similar flatbread with sprouts grinder with chillies garlic salt and coriander, and it’s absolute delicious with same sides, sometimes use fine,y cut salad veggies in it as a taco. And it’s a perfect healthy vegan lunch.

I never did get the bubbles so I just started at 2 minutes and eventually ended up at 2.5 minutes per side. I did put my batter in the fridge overnight so maybe I should have let it come up to room temperature first. I also found I needed to re-lube with olive oil every few otherwise they started to stick a bit. Maybe more a little clingy than sticking. Not as convenient as commercial low carb tortillas but no weird ingrediants. Excellent conveyor for tzatzik.

Thank you Chef John, as someone who makes rotis on occasion this would be a healthy change up. I think I would add a bit of canola oil to the batter and some Kashmiri chili powder or turmeric. Thank you for the healthier option to making rotis
