It's March! 3 months into the year and the month when 2 of us turn 12 and 14🥳! We had posted another lentil flatbread/pancake recipe before and thought we should post another one for March 2026, but a lot simpler and basic but still yummy. We hope you enjoy making it and eating it with your favourite sauces and dips.

- 1
Soak the lentils in water for at least 2 hr. The lentils literally will double in size so make sure your bowl is big enough. Keep covering the lentils with water when they are over the water level because of swelling.
- 2
Wash the lentils thoroughly when the soaking time is done and add them to your blender. Yo it should now have 6 cups of lentils
- 3
Pour in the water and add the seasonings into the blender.
- 4
Blend on medium to high speed until smooth. Make sure no lentils are whole. If your blend is small. Do 3 cups of lentils, 1 1/2 cup of water and half the seasonings and then do the other half of everything.
- 5
Heat a little of the oil in your pan on high heat but don’t burn the oil. Use a 1/2 cup to spoon the lentil mixture into the pan you don’t need to use the whole cup. And quickly spread it around very thinly.
- 6
Turn the heat down to medium high heat and let the mixture fry for about 3mins
- 7
Flip and fry for 3mins
- 8
Take the pancake out of the pan and place on a plate with kitchen towel on and start on the next one following the second part of step #5 starting with the oil.

After the pancakes are done, serve with your favourite filling. How about eating it with our basic hummus for a high protein meal or with our salad if you have the time for a healthy lunch?

Weetabix and Oat Digestive Pancake
So I finish eating my weetabix (I LOVE Weetabix as dessert) and I think, hmm, wonder if this can do well in a pancake. See, I've always thought, why not exploit someone else's slaving away to produce a certain taste and use that as a shortcut to an even better taste? So, without even washing my weetabix bowl, I entered my taste lab, making it my mixing bowl. Needless to say, it was delicious.

I decided to try one of my favourite Mexican sauces for my kunde, which I'm not very fond of, and it worked wonders! Chocolate or cocoa is the key here. Mole is a very elaborate sauce that takes many hours to make and has many ingredients but I simplify it to just the basic flavours. I also eliminated the chili from it because I wanted it mild.

Simple Pilau
There are many variations of pilau and this is is my simple version which I adapted to share with friends who wanted to learn how to cook it. I usually toast and grind my own spices but in this recipe I have given the option of ready made ground spices. Some important tips for good Pilau: 1. It requires alot of oil for cooking so do not skimp; 2. It needs time so do not rush the process; 3. You need to cook the spices properly in the oil to achieve good pilau and avoid tummy upsets; 4. Use a heavy pot as it retains heat better and will avoid the spices and pot burning at the bottom
