Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh chives
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast, turmeric, kala namak, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Gradually add the unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients, whisking constantly until you get a smooth, lump-free batter.
Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow the chickpea flour to fully hydrate.
In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Pour a quarter of the batter (about 2/3 cup) into the pan, spreading it slightly to form a round shape with the back of a spoon.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and set. Do not press down on the mixture as it cooks, as this will make it denser.
Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining batter, adding more oil as necessary.
Sprinkle additional nutritional yeast on each 'egg' for a cheesy flavor and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
Optional: Serve with toasted bread or avocado slices for a complete meal.
