How to Make Lentil Pancakes With Berries

  1. Soak 1 cup dried yellow lentils (toor dal) in a bowl of water overnight. Rinse thoroughly before using.
  2. Combine the rinsed lentils, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth, adding more water (1-2 tablespoons at a time) if needed to reach a thick, pourable batter.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of oil to a preheated non-stick fry pan or skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Gently stir in 1 teaspoon baking powder into the batter just before cooking.
  5. Pour 1/4 cup of batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake, spreading slightly with the back of a spoon to form 5-inch pancakes.
  6. Cook for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. If the pancakes are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly.
  7. If cooking in batches, keep cooked pancakes warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining batter.
  8. Prepare 2 cups of fresh or frozen berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.). If using frozen berries, gently heat them in a small saucepan until thawed and slightly warmed.
  9. Slice strawberries if using.
  10. Top each pancake with your favorite berries and serve immediately. Enjoy!
