Step 1
Soak lentils in water for 5 minutes, then drain well and grind to a coarse paste with just enough water to move the blender.
Step 2
Mix lentil paste with rice flour, ginger-chili paste, diced vegetables, sesame seeds, and salt until fully combined.
Step 3
Heat oil in an 8-inch round cake pan or skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Pour batter into the hot pan and smooth the top with a spoon.
Step 5
Bake in a 375°F oven for 12–15 minutes until edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool for 2 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve warm with chutney or yogurt.
