- ¾ cup whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Fresh garlic (to taste)
- Fresh herbs (cilantro or parsley, to taste)

- Optional: chickpea flour for gluten-free, spices like cumin or smoked paprika
Instructions
- Rinse 1 cup of red lentils under cold water until the water runs clear.
