Step 1

Prep your lentils by washing and draining if you're using canned lentils or making your lentils from dried if you haven't made yet.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add oil. Then add onion and a good pinch of salt and cook until the onion starts to get golden.

Step 3

Then add in the green onion, garlic, green chili and another pinch of salt and cook until the garlic is cooked through. 3-4 mins.

Step 4

Then add in all of the spices and mix in and continue to cook for another minute.

Step 5

Add in the lentils, cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and a 1/4 cup of water and mix well and then continue to cook to simmer the lentils for 3 or 4 minutes.

Step 6

Then taste and adjust flavor. Add a dash of the lemon juice. Mix in and set aside.

Step 7

Prep your rolling station with a little bit of flour and roll out the partially thawed puff pastry sheet until it is almost double in size. Then slice it into half lengthwise.

Step 8

Put the lentils which should be cool by now. Use cool lentils on one of the pastry sheets. Spread it out and put the other pastry sheet on it. Keep about 1/2 inch on the edges of the pastry sheet so you can seal them. Brush water on the edges.

Step 9

Using a fork, seal the pastry sheets. Also using the fork, create some holes on the top of the pie or use a scissor to cut up a little bit of holes on top of the pie.

Step 10

Then bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 c) for 20-25 minutes or until nicely golden brown and puffy all over.

Step 11

Then remove from the oven. Let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Then slice as you like and serve. Serve as is or with sauces of choice or some tahini lemon dressing or other creamy sauces
