Ingredients

• 1 cup red lentil flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 medium carrots, chopped
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, combine the lentil flour, water, olive oil, cumin powder, paprika, and salt. Mix well to form a dough.
3. Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to a thin layer, about 1/8 inch thick.
4. Cut the rolled out dough into desired cracker shapes using a knife or a cookie cutter.
5. Place the crackers on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
6. While the crackers are baking, prepare the curry carrot dip. In a medium saucepan, bring water to boil and cook the chopped carrots until tender.
7. Drain the water and transfer the carrots to a blender. Add the curry powder, turmeric, garlic, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Blend until smooth and creamy.
8. Season the dip with salt and pepper to taste, and blend again to combine.
9. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro.
10. Once the crackers are done, allow them to cool before serving them with the curry carrot dip.
