๐ŸŒฏ 2 ingredient, high protein wrap? Yes, please!


Hi Reader,

Growing up in India, we made chillas, savory lentil wraps cooked straight from a batter. These red lentil wraps work the same way, and there is no flour in them.

You soak red lentils for 3 to 4 hours, then blend them with fresh water. I also use turmeric, cumin seeds, and salt to season the wraps, but that's optional. So blend until the batter is "pourable"

Swirl a thin circle of it into a hot skillet and in about 4 minutes it sets into a soft wrap you can fold, because the soaked lentils do all the binding. Skimp on the soak and the wraps come out gritty, so give it the full time!

In a world where groceries are getting more and more expensive, I really love making a big batch of this and freezing the wraps ahead of time.

Inside, I add a skillet of chickpeas with carrots, bell pepper, cumin, and smoked paprika, with a herbed yogurt sauce on top. Each serving has 17 grams of protein.

Put the lentils in water this morning and they are dinner tonight. If tonight is already spoken for, the batter keeps in the fridge for a day.

Toodles,
Shruthi

P.S. Cooked wraps freeze between sheets of parchment. Reheat them on a dry skillet!

Danish butter cookies with golden edges and pale centers on a cooling rack.

Hi Reader, I ate Danish butter cookies from the blue tin as a child, and every homemade version since has been measured against it. So instead of adapting another blog's recipe, I read the back of the Royal Dansk tin! No egg. No baking powder. That's why the factory cookie is dry and snaps clean. Egg-free dough won't pipe at home, so I use one yolk to bind it, and I leave the leavener out so nothing puffs where you want the cookie sandy.

Skillet of marry me tofu

Hi Reader, I tested my marry me tofu three times before the sauce stopped drying out. Each time it looked right in the pan, then tightened to paste the moment the tofu went back in. The fix turned out to be smaller than I expected. I needed to basically add a full can of coconut milk. Fried tofu drinks up liquid FAST, so a sauce that looked perfect before the tofu goes in, turned thick and pasty by the time it landed on the plate, which is why I stopped reducing earlier than felt right and...

Hi Reader, So, we're finally starting to see all the summer produce at its peak. And I'm always trying to figure out new ways to eat these veggies. Last week, I posted two reels showcasing how to use puff pastry + ricotta + summer veggies to make super simple veggie tarts, and they went mega viral. Even better, my inbox was full of folks that emailed and sent me pictures of their own tarts. Collectively, the two reels are sitting at around 1 million views. Over 5000 people have commented to...
