Ingredients

• Chickpea flour - 100 grams
• Water - 250 milliliters
• Nutritional yeast - 2 tablespoons
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon

3. Gradually whisk in the water until the batter is smooth and well combined.
4. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
