Ingredients
-
1c whole green mung beans
1c red lentils
1 small onion chopped
1 clove garlic
1c water
1t cumin seed
1t salt
1inch piece fresh ginger
oil or nonstick spray for frying
fresh chilis, dried red pepper, black mustard seeds, black peppercorn to taste
water for soaking
Directions
Day before prep: Combine lentils and mung beans in a large bowl, then fill with water until the water just covers the surface of the pulses. Allow to soak overnight. The next day they will have begun to sprout.
Quick prep: soak beans as above for 2-3 hours
Drain soaking liquid from beans and move them to the bowl of a food processor (or blender). Add onion,garlic, salt and ginger.
If using cumin seed, mustard seed and dried chilis, toast these briefly in a dry pan (covered) until they become aromatic - watch closely to prevent scorching about 1-2min only.
Add these to the food processor and process until a uniform consistency is achieved. The mixture should have a creamy appearance flecked with green and red. Note: if using a blender you may need to work in batches adding a little water at a time and scraping down sides as you go. You may add up to 1/4c of water to aid in blending.
Remove from processor to a container suitable for pouring or large bowl. Add remaining water.
Lightly oil and heat skillet. Pour or ladle batter onto hot pan, spreading in a circular motion with the back of a spoon until thin. When top surface appears dry, flip with a spatula. Repeat for each pancake oiling pan as needed.
Good served stuffed with curried potatoes or other vegetables.
Makes approx. five 8" rounds
