The Chickpea Flour Omelette is a delightful, protein-rich alternative to traditional eggs, perfect for a dairy-free breakfast. Packed with vegetables and spices, it delivers a savory taste that will satisfy your morning cravings.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 1 cup (120g)
• Water - 1 cup (240ml)
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Black salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Onion - 1/2 medium, finely chopped
• Bell pepper - 1/2 medium, finely chopped
• Spinach - 1 cup (30g), chopped
• Tomato - 1 small, diced
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, turmeric powder, black salt, cumin powder, and red chili powder. Whisk until smooth and let it rest for about 5 minutes.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell peppers, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the chopped spinach and diced tomato to the skillet, cooking for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
4. Pour half of the chickpea flour batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form a round omelette. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to lift and the bottom is golden brown.
5. Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula, adding another tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is golden.
6. Remove from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining batter for the second omelette. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
