The perfect solution for Gluten-free diet! I love them 💗! Also tried the one with salsa. Freezing went fine. The only problem is having to soak them when you want them now! I drained the soak water into a separate jar and stored the beans in a separate container overnight in the fridge. It worked fine as there was no waiting. I'm telling my family & friends about this miracle wrap. 😊 Thanks much for the recipes.

In my home in India, we also add grated carrots, tomatoes, green chillies, ginger, coriander leaves, teeny bit of turmeric powder, black pepper powder, whole cumin seeds to this batter. 💚

1-2-3. Easy! 1 cup lentils, 2 cups water, 3 soaking hours! I need these little tricks to remrmber😃

In South India we soak lentils and Uradh Dhal seperately for 4 hours and grind both togather and leave the batter overnight to feement.
Then we make these breads, which are called as dosa. We add pieces of onions, coriander leaves and a little bit of green chillis, pinch of salt, turmeric to the bread / dosa batter before cooking

This is exactly like several traditional Indian recipes. Any type of Lentil can be used especially with a little rice mixed in to balance the protein and make them more rounded. They are often lightly fermented to to increase the fluffiness and give them more of the vitamin b12 that a vegetarian diet needs. The soak times have to be adjusted to the size of the lentil. For example this lentil takes two to three hours to soak while chick peas tale six. Just bite one to make sure they are soaked enough. Add the spices like cumin, pepper, ginger, garlic, onion or cilantro to taste.

Apart from the nice result you get a "Thumbs up" just for probably having the only recipe in Youtube which actually takes exactly the two ingredients just as said (usually they say there is only two ingredients but in the end there are at least 4 more). Thank you for sharing

EUREKA! Finally "bread" with no eggs or wheat. Thank you so much!

My husband and I recently went vegan, but I don't like legumes! He found this recipe and wanted me to make it for him. I was so skeptical - this couldn't work! BUT IT DID! It was so easy - it held together - and it actually tasted good - just the plain version!! I am so excited (and I'm not the type to get this excited about a recipe, and this is the very first comment I ever made online). My mind is spinning with ideas for variations. I am so encouraged that I can now make this vegan thing enjoyable : ) Thanks so much for this video!!

This is just what I've been looking for. I'm celiac and buying gluten free bread is expensive. This is a great alternative.

[sushmamondal]

We call it cheela here in India and it is my favourite breakfast.. easy to make, healthy and yummy.. we add chopped onions, tomatoes, cumin seeds as well as powder, chopped coriander, chillies and if you want can add hing.. 😋😋 it will become more tasty

[HannahIm]

I was skeptical, but I tried it and the result was beyond my dreams. I'm gonna try some of the other variations mentioned in comments here next time! This is a recipe I will be making for the rest of my life.

In India, we call it "CHEELA". it's really awesome and tasty

[zolarose]

We make something similar in our home with 1 part rice to half part urud dahl (white lentil), we blend, then let sit covered in a warm sunny area for 8-12 hours, it should be more risen and fluffy (batter is fermented), then we pancake them. They become even fluffier if a bit of baking soda is added. I add salt. When we're cooking ours in the pan, we top it with diced tomato, onion, carrot, pepper. We also eat with a homemade coconut chutney for extra flavour. It's called uttapam. Even healthier because it's fermented but it does take more time.

The water from the soaked has some enzymes that are not the best to really eat for digestion, you could soak them pour off the water into measuring cup to see how much drainage occurs and then replace that with the same amount of fresh water.

[Jimjust]

These are perfect, no more factory bread! As an option, try adding some baking powder just before cooking. It makes them rise, and peppers the top with holes, just like a large English crumpet. They really hold any sauces this way. 😍

[sudharamaprasad]

This is a common breakfast recipe in India made with different lentils, also with a combination of rice and vegetables. And yes, this can be made on cast-iron pans

[txxredtache]

Thank you! I’ve been trying to wean myself off bread for ages and this, the simplest of recipes, is going to help immensely. I’m 56 and can’t believe I’ve never come across this before. Still, we live and learn, and better late than never, eh? Thanks again for sharing :D

[traceymills]

We absolutely love this recipe. I too didn't believe it could be this good. I now make these and use them in our vegan lasagne instead of lasagne sheets and we also cut and bake them in the air fryer and eat them with dip. Yum as !!

[NYCButterfly]

I just tried it. I soaked it in the fridge for exactly 3 hours since i hadn't eaten yet. Measurements were exact, but my batter didn't seem as rich as yours so I was worried, especially when my first attempt with a ladle failed miserably. I took to pouring it in the center of the pan, since it was in a cup with a pour corner. I needn't have worried. I tried my first one with peanut butter and a tsp of no sugar added fruit jam, and it was amazing! Thank you!

[CastledarkDweller]

Im just loving how ALL~INCLUSIVE this recipe is! Its not just for us vegans, its for almost everyone!
Celiacs can safely eat it, as can Vegetarians, even the Keto crowd might enjoy it if they're longing for carbs like bread or cake!
Also its super cheap! i got half a dozen wraps out of my go at this recipe...so what does a cup of lentils & a bit of electricity cost? ...um...around 50 cents maybe?? Perfect for tight budgets! Come on in...Uni students, pensioners, households with big eaters or families with loads of mouths to feed!
Plus its great for those of us who are trying to be salt-free, fat-free, sugar-free, or all 3! And its soooo easy to make, even people who never cook could give it a crack! once again (as always) Jill xox
