Soak the lentils the night before by adding enough cold water to cover them by 2 fingers.
Pre-boil the soaked lentils in 2-3 glasses of hot water for 4-5 minutes and drain. Then boil it in 3 glasses of water until it becomes soft. If you wish, you can add 1/4 onion, 1 clove of garlic, 1-2 bay leaves and a few black peppercorns to add flavor while boiling.
Strain the boiled lentils. Remove onion, bay leaf etc. Blend it in a blender with eggs, oat flour and milk until it reaches the consistency of boza. Season with salt, black pepper and cumin. If the consistency is thick, you can thin it by adding milk. If desired, you can finely chop 1/4 bunch of parsley leaves and add them to this mixture.
Put a non-stick, flat pan on the stove and grease it with 1 teaspoon of butter. Take a ladle of the crepe mixture, spread it on the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Green Lentils:
Green lentils, thanks to their low glycemic index, stabilize blood sugar and provide long-lasting satiety. Their high fiber content supports the digestive system, while rich iron and folate contribute to blood formation and cell regeneration. Beneficial for heart health, this legume is also a good source of plant-based protein. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like carrots, tomatoes, and spices such as mint and cumin, as well as bulgur. Suitable for soups, salads, and main dishes.
Egg:
Eggs are a highly bioavailable protein source, essential for muscle growth and repair. Rich in B12, Vitamin D, selenium, and choline, they support brain function, nervous system health, and energy production. Lutein and zeaxanthin pigments aid eye health, reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Despite their cholesterol content, eggs typically don't adversely affect blood cholesterol in most healthy individuals. A breakfast staple, eggs pair wonderfully with various ingredients like cheese, spinach, mushrooms, avocado, and whole-wheat bread.
Oat Flour:
Oat flour is a nutritious alternative, rich in beta-glucan fiber, aiding in cholesterol balance and blood sugar stabilization. It supports digestive health and promotes prolonged satiety, beneficial for weight management. Its slow digestion provides sustained energy, preventing sugar spikes. Ideal for baking, it can replace wheat flour in cakes, cookies, or enrich smoothies and pancakes. It harmonizes exceptionally well with fruits, nuts, and spices.
Egg White:
Egg white is rich in albumin, a high-biological-value protein essential for muscle development and repair. Being virtually fat and cholesterol-free, it's a heart-friendly option that aids in weight management. It contains important nutrients like riboflavin (Vitamin B2) and selenium, supporting the immune system. It can be whipped for desserts (meringue, soufflé) or used as a thickening agent in soups. It's excellent in omelets with vegetables or mixed with oats for a protein boost.
Milk:
Milk is rich in calcium and Vitamin D, supporting bone and teeth health. Its high-quality protein content is crucial for muscle development. B vitamins (B2, B12) contribute to energy metabolism and support nervous system health. It also contains components that strengthen the immune system. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, cereals, fruits, honey, or cocoa. It forms an indispensable base for many sweet and savory recipes.
Butter:
Butter is a rich, flavorful fat derived from milk. It contains fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K2, along with healthy fatty acids, serving as an energy source. It's easily digestible. Butter enhances the taste of meals and rice dishes, is spread on bread, or used in sauces. It's indispensable for breakfast tables and various recipes.
Fine Salt:
Fine salt is crucial for maintaining the body's vital electrolyte balance, playing a key role in nerve transmission and muscle functions. It supports cellular hydration and contributes to stomach acid production, aiding nutrient absorption. Consumed in moderation, it's essential for sustaining overall bodily functions. As a fundamental seasoning in almost all cuisines, it deepens the flavor of dishes from vegetables to meats, soups to salads, and enhances the aroma of other spices. It pairs wonderfully with black pepper, oregano, and garlic.
Cumin:
Cumin is a powerful spice that supports digestion, reduces bloating, and stimulates digestive enzymes. Rich in iron, it possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It pairs excellently with legumes (lentils, chickpeas), red and white meats, vegetables, and yogurt-based sauces. Combined with coriander, turmeric, and chili, it creates deep flavors in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines.
Baking Powder:
Baking powder is a leavening agent typically composed of sodium bicarbonate and an acid, giving baked goods their rise. While it offers no direct nutritional benefits, its sodium bicarbonate content can provide temporary relief from heartburn and indigestion, and even support oral hygiene as a gargle. However, excessive consumption leads to high sodium intake. It pairs wonderfully with flour, sugar, dairy products, eggs, and fruits; it's indispensable in cakes, cookies, and bread.
Parsley:
Parsley is a powerful antioxidant source that supports bone health and plays a crucial role in blood clotting due to its Vitamin K content. Its Vitamin C content strengthens immunity. Rich in flavonoids like apigenin, it can help reduce inflammation. It is also a natural diuretic. It pairs perfectly with lemon, garlic, and olive oil; adding a refreshing flavor to fish, chicken, soups, and salads.
