Knead a soft dough with flour, water, and salt, cover, and rest for 20 minutes.
Rinse and drain the cooked lentils; turn them in a pan for 2 minutes to remove extra water.
Fry the onion in oil for 5 minutes, add lentils and red pepper flakes, and cool the filling.
Divide the dough, roll each piece thinly, and spread the lentil filling.
Close the katmer and cook the first side in an oiled pan for 4 minutes.
Cook the other side for 4 minutes and serve hot before the moist filling tears the dough.
Stack the katmers covered so steam keeps the surface soft.
💡 Tip: Keeping the lentil filling dry makes the katmer easier to turn in the pan.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cut into triangles and show the green lentil filling.
