This is everything I made using lentils 🌱 Five types of lentils, seven results. I started by washing and soaking the lentils overnight. The next day: rinse, drain, and the experiments begin. 1. Green lentil bread 2. Red, yellow, and black lentils blended into Burmese tofu 3. A failed batch of lentil wraps (too thin to hold)… but no waste, I turned them into more tofu. Tried again using a thicker batter, and results were lentil wraps that hold their shape! 4. Crispy yellow lentil crackers, baked until golden. 5. Black lentil milk… I was curious too try… my face in the video tells if it was a success (and did you see my blender spill on my laptop? 🫣) 6. French lentil plant balls, one of my favorites. 7. Creamy dahl, made from all the leftovers at the end, including the pulp from the black lentil milk. ✨ Proof that lentils can become endless dishes if you’re curious enough to try. 💬 Which recipe do you want first?

Thank you for showing us the process, including the failures. Keep up the fantastic work!
French lentil plant balls please!! Thanks for sharing all your experiments. They inspire me to try new things.
Lentil bread recipe, please!
We use all of these lentils in daily cooking here in India! Amazed to see tofu being made out of it?! Wow! Can you drop the recipe???❤❤❤❤
So good! You should make a longer video sharing all those recipes!!!
I made red lentil and quinoa wraps and they held up really well! Maybe try that beach time 😊
Balls and Daal please 😊
The lentil crackers are originally papads, there are lentil drinks from the lentil water, also done either chickpeas, long before ‘aquafaba’. You can make Andhra pesarattu, which are lentil dosa (wraps), which is think you were trying to make in the video.
Just a suggestion. Next time you want to make lentil wraps, please soak some rice (preferably par boiled but even the normal cooking rice will do) and some chickpea lentil aka channa dal along with whatever other lentils you are soaking to make lentil wraps. <Adding rice helps make the wraps more crispy, more tasty and easier to remove from the pan> Once you have grinded them into a batter, oil the pan (if non stick) or use a non stick pan, make the pan hot, and spread out a laddle of batter like you would for a pancake or wrap. Make the flame medium and let it cook and flip to other side. Hope this helps. 👍👍
Dosa (South Indian pancakes with fermented lentils and fermented rice)
I like making a stew/soup with lentils. There are lentil chips that I buy. I've tried making them with red lentils a number of times. But the lentils become darker and bitter. I'm still hopeful that I'll make them and they turn out well some time in the future though.
I want those French lentil plant balls.
