I love bagels but want healthier options with more protein. So, I thought of using lentils. In Indian kitchens, lentils are a basic food, often cooked daily or at least a few times a week. I grew up eating lentil soup (“Daal”) almost every day and still enjoy it. But sometimes, I want something quick, healthy, and high in protein. That’s how I tried making a lentil bagel, and now I love it!
