  • 1 cup flour
  • 1 cup sesame seeds
  • 2 eggs

Instructions

  • Rinse lentils well, add to a large pot with 4 cups water, so the lentils are covered. Place pot over medium high heat and cook for 15-20 minutes, uncovered, stirring frequently until lentils are soft.
  • Strain lentils, add to a bowl and mash with a potato masher or a food processor into a fairly smooth paste. Add flour and sesame seeds. Stir, add in eggs one at a time mixing well. The batter should be wet but thick. If it is too wet, add a little more flour.
