Step-by-Step Instructions
- 1
To begin making the Vegan Chickpea Omelette Recipe, first place a non-stick griddle/tava on the heat
- 2
Turn the heat to low so it can slowly pre-heat while you prepare the batter
- 3
To make the batter, sieve the chickpea flour/besan into a mixing bowl to remove all lumps
- 4
To it, add the ginger-garlic paste, ajwain, asafoetida, turmeric powder, baking soda, onion, tomato, green chillies, Coriander leaves and salt
- 5
Mix well to combine
- 6
Next, stir in the coconut milk (or Soy or Almond milk), if using, and mix to make a smooth batter
- 7
Alternatively, add enough water to make a batter which is smooth and spreadable, but not too watery/runny
- 8
When the griddle is hot enough, pour a ladle full of the batter on it and spread evenly into a round pancake
- 9
Drizzle oil along the edges of the omelette and cook for 2-3 minutes, on medium heat till the bottom is golden brown
- 10
Lift it gently with a spatula to check if it releases and if that bottom has cooked
- 11
When it looks golden, flip the omelette over and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes
- 12
Serve hot along with Peanut Carrot Chutney
