This wonderful recipe was inspired by Radhi Devlukia, I just played around with my favorite lentils and vegetables. Just yum! Feel free to use any vegetables you like.

These crispy waffles have a slightly nutty taste. They are completely guild free made with lentils, which has a good amount of protein and can give you a good amount of nutrition that will keep you full for longer.
