Add the dry ingredient mixture to the ground lentils and mix well. Season with salt to taste.
If the batter appears too runny, add 1 tablespoon of rice flour and mix until the desired consistency is achieved.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to add a subtle zing to the batter.
Grease a bread pan with vegetable oil and transfer the lentil batter into the pan.
Sprinkle a handful of sunflower seeds and sesame seeds on top of the batter for added flavor and texture.
Bake the lentil bread in the oven for 60 minutes at 200°C.
Once baked, let the bread cool while you prepare the accompanying sauce.
