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. WhyDoINeedAName: 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

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

These look really interesting and I'll definitely have to try them going forward; Thanks Chef John! c:
A number of people in my family have developed gluten allergies so this might be perfect for them; they also look like they'd be great for quesadillas, wraps, or sopping up sauces. I already use lentils in a lot of my cooking so this is one more interesting way to incorporate them c:

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.

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 have no problem with gluten, & I'm not a vegan or vegetarian, no meat = no me, 60 year old Irishman & I eat meat, potatoes, vegetables. The words vegan or vegetarian are old native American Indian words, they mean poor hunter

I have fenugreek. Again it reminds me of poppadoms, but without the frying. Which. have you tried to make chips out of them? I need to get my indian cook books out. I haven't made a real curry for 3 plus yrs.

I jist found out im pre-diabetic again so will definitely give these a try. Id love to make the filling vegan too but im not sure how to make it tasty, vegan, and low carb all at the same time.

I literally have a huge box of red lentils I have been looking to get through. I had absolutely no clue they could become flat bread of all things. Thank you so much for this video, Chef John!

This looks similar to Ethiopian injera, a flatbread made with teff flour and water that's been fermented. Coincidentally (or maybe not) it makes an excellent serving base for lentil stew: )

Wonderful! Been scratching my hair away to find a low carb alternative to a tortilla as a vessel to carry food from plate to mouth. Would love to see more of these low carb alternatives!
reply

Omg! Have you priced red lentils? I can get a regular bag of lentils for like '1. 30 a pound. Red lentils are 10. 99 per pound. Can't do this recipe. I'm not inspired by this one.
reply

Finally, a quick bread for the under achiever. Breads, rolls, and flatbreads always sound good but I rarely want to fuss with all the measuring and mixing. No excuses with this one!
reply

When I was a vegetarian I would make these for breakfast and have them with some hummus and raw bell pepper. It was honestly one of my favorites and so easy to meal prep
