Ingredients
- 1 cup red lentils dry
- 1/2 cup quinoa dry

Optional seasonings:
- 1/2 tsp cumin

Instructions
Soak Lentils & Quinoa:
- Rinse the red lentils and quinoa thoroughly.
- Combine them in a bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of water, and let soak for 4–6 hours (or overnight).
Blend Batter:
- After soaking, pour the lentils, quinoa, and soaking water into a blender.
- Add olive oil, salt, and any seasonings you like.
- Blend until smooth (the consistency should be like pancake batter).
Cook Flatbreads:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it if needed.
- Pour a ladle of batter into the skillet, spreading it to your desired thickness (about 1/4 inch is ideal).
- Cook for 2–3 minutes on one side until bubbles form, and the edges lift easily.
- Flip and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side.
Serve & Enjoy:
- Serve warm with dips like hummus, guacamole, or yogurt, or use as a wrap for fillings.
