In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, ground turmeric, and salt. Gradually whisk in the almond milk until the batter is smooth and lump-free. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes.
While the batter rests, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion, garlic, and minced ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the butternut squash and Thai red curry paste to the skillet. Stir to coat the squash evenly in the paste, then pour in the coconut milk and vegetable stock. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until the squash is tender, about 12-15 minutes.
While the curry simmers, prepare the coconut ginger pea mixture. In a small skillet, combine thawed peas, lime juice, fresh cilantro, soy sauce, sugar, and a pinch of minced ginger. Cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, just until the peas are warmed through. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the crepes, heat a non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with oil. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread it evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then flip and cook for another 1 minute. Repeat with the remaining batter.
To plate, place a crepe on a serving dish, spoon some butternut squash curry down the center, and fold the crepe over the filling. Top with a spoonful of the coconut ginger pea mixture for added freshness and garnish with additional cilantro.
Serve warm and enjoy the vibrant, aromatic flavors!
