1

Hello! First, we wash the lentils thoroughly. Then, we put them in a pot with water and salt and bring to a boil. Don't forget to skim the foam, then simmer for 6-7 minutes. The lentils should be al dente.

2

We mix the curry leaves and green pepper in a bowl. Heat the oil in a pan and pour this mixture over it. Add turmeric and chaat masala, then set aside.

3

Spread 1/3 of the drained lentils on a baking tray and bake at 160°C for 20-25 minutes. When the lentils start to dry, pour the spiced oil over them, mix, and return to the oven.

4

Mix the remaining gochujang mixture with the lentils and bake again. Add the peanuts and lemon zest and give it one last bake. That's it, enjoy your meal!

5

Finally, mix all the spices and sprinkle over the lentils. Bake until golden. Once cooled, you can enjoy it!

Harika bir tarif olmuş, mercimek protein deposu! 🥰 Ben içine biraz zerdeçal da ekledim, tadı çok güzel oldu.

Ellerinize sağlık, çok beğendik. Acaba mercimek yerine nohut kullansam yine aynı lezzeti alır mıyım?

Tarif çok pratik ama bana biraz fazla tuzlu geldi, bir dahaki sefere daha az tuz kullanacağım.
