Instructions

1. Rinse the split red lentils, drain them, then soak them in water overnight or for at least 4 hours.
2. Drain all the water and put the lentils in a blender jar.
3. Add the green chilli, ginger, salt and ½ cup water, and blend to a fine batter that pours easily. Stir in the cilantro briefly, then let the batter rest for 5 minutes.
4. Heat the pan on low-medium.
5. Pour about ⅓ cup of batter and spread it into a 5 to 6 inch pancake. Cook on medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.
6. Add a few drops of oil, then carefully flip the chilla.
7. Drizzle a little oil on top and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until light brown marks appear. Remove and repeat with the remaining batter.
