Rooi Lentil Platbrood
Bestanddele
- 1 ¼ koppie Split Red Lentils - (aantekening 1)
- 2 koppies water - by kamertemperatuur
- ½ teelepel Sout
- ¼ teelepel Koeksoda
- ½ teelepel Appelasyn
- ¼ teelepel Knoffelpoeier
instruksies
- Place the red split lentils into a sieve and rinse under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. Drain the lentils and place them in the jug of your high-speed blender.
- Add all the remaining ingredients into a high-speed blender jug and soak for 4 hours at room temperature. This gives the lentils time to soften. If you are using whole red lentils, soaking time is overnight.
- After that time, close the lid of the blender jug and blend on high speed – speed 7-8 of my blender – for about 1 minute or until the batter is smooth and resembles a pancake batter. You may have to stop the blender, scrape the sides and repeat until no bits of lentils are showing. The batter should be smooth, as thick as pancake batter. It can be slightly gritty but no bit of lentils showing.
- Transfer the batter into a mixing bowl and set aside the batter 10 minutes before cooking
- Verhit 'n kleefvrye pan oor medium hitte en spuit olyfolie oral oor die pan. Jy moet olie op die pan gebruik, anders sal die beslag aan die pan vassit en breek.
- Pour 1/4 cup of batter in the center of the pan and using the back of a spoon (or the back of the measuring cup), work in a circular motion to gently spread the batter from the center to the outside until it forms a tortilla of about 12 cm (4.7 inches) diameter. Watch my step-by-step pictures above in the post to see how to spread the batter.
- Cook for 2 minutes on one side, then flip with a spatula and cook on the other side. Cool on a plate or a rack while you cook the remaining batter. Make sure you re-oil the pan between each flatbread.

- Serve with an Indian curry recipe like my veganistiese botter hoender en tofu resep.
Notes
Wenke
Avoid Gritty Batter: Your batter can be gritty if you didn’t blend the mixture at high speed for long enough, if you didn’t use a high-speed blender or if your blender power is too weak to break the lentils into a smooth batter, or if you didn’t add enough water, and the blender blade struggled to blend the lentils into the water. Add more water, up to 3 tablespoons. Avoid Breaking Flatbread: To make sure your tortillas don’t break in the pan, grease the pan enough with olive oil, use a non-stick pan, spread the batter gently using the back of a spoon with a circular motion (tilting the pan breaks these tortillas), and don’t pour more than a 1/4 cup of batter. Storage: Store in the fridge in a sealed box for up to 2 days and rewarm in a warm non-stick pan. Freeze individually wrap and thaw at room temperature 3 hours before serving. Dien: You can serve these red lentil tortillas with some of the following savory fillings:Voeding
Choice Of Red Lentils – Split vs Whole
There are two types of red lentils available at the grocery store:
- Skeur rooi lensies have the seed coat removed, and they naturally split in half. It means they don’t require as much soaking time to make lentils flatbread, and they cook faster in curry or sauce like in my red lentil pasta recipe.
- Whole red lentils are brownish-red and still have their skin. Consequently, they are tougher, and you must soak the lentils overnight if you use this variety for this recipe.

More Vegan, Gluten-Free Tortilla Recipes
I love to create vegan, gluten-free tortilla recipes to wrap food or as a side to dishes. Below are my favorite vegan tortilla recipes, including keto, and paleo options:







Is the batter thick enough to do okay in a food processor, where liquid would normally escape?
You must use a blender or the lentils will not blend well into a thin texture.
Great recipe
Dankie !
really yummy….i enjoyed this recipe. 🙂
great recipe. I used 1/4 tsp of xantham gum and it made it more flexible.
Awesome recipe. I added a little extra garlic powder but other than that kept everything per the recipe, made 10 wraps and they’re so good! Not quite as pliable as I was hoping, but I may have needed to thin my batter out more. Tried as a wrap and also used for a quesadilla and these are going to go into regular rotation.
Glad you loved it!!
Can you skip the apple cider vinegar?
Yes, it should work without it, but you might lose some color when cooking.
I had the same question. What role does apple cider vinegar play in recipes?
I assume that sometimes it can be omitted like in the above tortillas but sometimes it cannot?
Can it be substituted with lemon juice in recipes where it cannot be omitted?
Thank you 🙂 and I love your recipes!
It depends on the recipe, most of the time apple cider vinegar turn plant-based milk into buttermilk or it acts as an acid to activate baking soda. That’s why you can always swap ACV for lemon juice, lime juice or any vinegar/citrus juice you have on hand. If you skip it, it makes the baked good more dense and less fluffy.
A fabulous recipe with great instructions. They freeze really well too. Thanks very much, I’ll be doing these again!
I have tried a similar recipe and the batter just stuck tp the pan. What am I doing wrong?
I can’t comment on a recipe that’s not mine, but I’d advise you to try mine, it doesn’t stuck if you follow it!
Your explanation of the recipe and its ingredients are superb!
Thank you I am looking forward to trying this out today
I must say I am very impressed with this recipe, I didn’t know these pancakes tasted so good. Thank you.
