Ingredients
Red lentils (masoor dal) – 1 cup (soaked overnight)
Curd – approx. ½ cup (for grinding)
Eggs – 2
Salt – ½ tsp
Psyllium husk – 2½ tbsp
Olive oil – 2 tbsp
Baking powder – 1 tsp
Baking soda – ½ tsp
White vinegar – 1 tbsp
Sesame seeds – for topping
Pumpkin seeds – for topping
Step 1:Soak red lentils overnight. Drain and grind them using curd to make a smooth batter.
Step 2:Transfer the batter to a bowl. Add eggs and mix well.
Step 3:Add salt, psyllium husk, and olive oil. Mix until well combined.
Step 4:Add baking powder, baking soda, and vinegar. Mix gently—you’ll notice the batter volume almost doubles.
Step 5:Line a baking tin with butter paper and grease it lightly with butter.
Step 6:Line a baking tin with butter paper and grease it lightly with butter. Pour the batter into the tin and tap the tin gently to flatten and remove air bubbles.
Step 7 : Sprinkle sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds generously on top of the batter for added crunch and nutrition.
Step 8:Bake in a preheated oven at 380°F (190°C) for 45 minutes.
Step 9:Insert a knife—if it comes out clean, the bread is done. Leave it in the oven for another 10 minutes to settle and cool.
Step 10:Remove, cool completely, slice, and enjoy.
