Ingredients
1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
½ cup water (or plant-based milk for a creamier texture)
1 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for cheesy flavor)
½ tsp turmeric (for color and anti-inflammatory benefits)
½ tsp black salt (kala namak, for eggy flavor)
½ tsp baking powder (for fluffiness)
½ tsp cumin powder
¼ tsp black pepper
½ cup diced vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms)
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (e.g., cilantro, parsley)
1 tbsp olive oil (or vegan butter, for frying)
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, baking powder, cumin, and black pepper.
Gradually add water (or plant-based milk) and mix until you get a smooth, pancake-like batter.
Fold in the chopped vegetables and fresh herbs.
Cook the Omelet
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little oil.
Pour half the batter into the pan and spread it evenly.
Cook for 3-4 minutes until bubbles form and the edges start to lift.
Flip carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown.
Serve & Enjoy
Serve warm with asparagus, avocado, toast, or a side of salsa!
Garnish with extra herbs or vegan cheese if desired.
