    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.

      You could try bean-flour - that way the soaking and blending is not necessary. I haven't found any lentil-flours, but comments here suggest that any legume works, so any bean flour should work. Bean flour is usually chickpea flour, where I live, but your mileage may vary.

    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.

      You could use chickpea flour in the same way but I add a little baking powder, a teaspoon of ground flaxseeds, pinch baking soda, a dash of Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice, spices, (turmeric tiny amount because it reacts with baking soda), veggies very fine cut or grated (onion and fresh coriander are great). This is the East Indian version of savoury fluffy pancake but you can make a plain version without spices and veggies.
      Start adding very little water and make a paste first to avoid hard lumps. Gradually add more water to make a pancake batter consistency.
      Camilla of power hungry website has a very simple sliced bread recipe and other items made from chickpea flour.
      Also, not to steer you away from this channel but TH-cam channel "skinny recipes" has gluten free recipes that may be of interest and help for you. 🙏🤗
      Edit: I am not celiac but follow gluten free diet for health reasons, also my daughter has special needs.
      Store gluten free breads are full of starch and other ingredients I can avoid and yes, so expensive.

      Hey you can get creative with this stuff. Like soak one part rice / quinoa / millet with one part any lentils of your choice. Grind it next day to make batter. Let it sit for one more day & it will get fermented by wild yeast etc. You can take 2 parts brown rice / millet with one part of 'urad' & ferment it to make 'dosa' or 'idli'. Use your imagination & you can make all sorts of stuff with different taste that's all gluten free. Urad - patelbrothersusa.com/swad-organic-urad-dal/ You can use green gram, black gram etc. There are so many possibilities & it's so easy to get rid of gluten.

    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.

    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! THANK~YOUUUUUU once again (as always) Jill xox

    Wow...I LOVE this recipe! Thanks so much for sharing this. I do HIGHLY recommend when hosing ANY dried lentils or beans, to go thru then bit by bit to ensure there are no little stones. I can't tell you just how often I find stones in my lentils and biting down on one will surely ruin your day (if not your entire tooth). So take the time, you'll be glad you did when you come across your 1st, 2nd 3rd...stones. And I always like to rinse the dust off my lentils, briefly, before I soak them.

      Shayla Bradley, check oils. GMO canola is hidden as 34% of various oils packed by the mafia. It swells the lungs to stiff
      and about half breath capacity on many of us. All other allergies double in severity for 48 hours or more if it is consumed. Look for oil with the blue butterfly, or any oil in Trader Joe's. Also nonorganic dairy concentrates GMO corn fed to the cows, so drop dairy a few weeks and restart on organic only. If acne, wash face with organic honey not soap. If hand arthritis, that is best fixed with Floressence tea, 3 months 2x daily, to remove the pesticides. You may refrigerate and drink cold, but don't touch it or its water to plastics.

    I made this today and it is fantastic. I soaked the lentils overnight. I was afraid it would be too runny, so I took out about 1/4 cup of the water before I put the lintils in my VitaMix. Figured I could add the water back if I needed to, but didn't. I also added 1/2 teasp of baking powder. I will try different spices and things as I experiment. Made them thin and they turned out perfect in my nostick pan. Didn't use the spray because my pan advised not to use nostick spray on nostick surfaces. Does something to the nostick finish. Just a paper towel with a little olive oil on it before each batch. I can see using this recipe from now on. Only problem is I can't stop eating them. Thank you so much, Jill. Stay safe.

    I made these today, I presoaked my lentils(what I had on hand that needs to get used) over night. I drained the water out as all those gases in the water upset my tummy. I used a strainer to drain them over a measuring cup so ended up being 1 cup of water that needs to be added once they are drained and rinsed. I used a small non stick frying pan to make mine, let it heat up hot before pouring batter in(2 1/2 heaping tablespoons batter) and no oil needed! My seasoning mix comprised of tomato powder, basil, garlic, dash of Himalayan salt. These will go perfect with salads or to have my scrambled eggs, or seafood with. Yum, so quick and easy thank you!!

      Thank you for this tip! I was just wondering if using parchment paper on a frying pan might work, too. I Googled it. Apparently, if you add a little oil to the pan and brush or distribute it evenly around the bottom of the pan, you can put a piece of parchment paper on top of it and fry on the parchment paper instead. Parchment paper is, of course, non-stick. The oil just glues the paper to the pan and helps the heat to warm the paper more evenly but the paper does not absorb it, so it's still oil-free cooking in terms of the food. Your method sounds even easier! Did it come out soft, or a little bit crispier?
