Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour
- 3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black salt (kala namak)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 bell pepper, diced
- 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric, black salt, regular salt, black pepper, and baking powder until smooth. Set aside to let it rest for about 5 minutes.
In a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach, bell pepper, onion, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the spinach is wilted. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel, and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Pour half of the chickpea mixture into the heated skillet, tilting it to evenly distribute the batter into a round shape.
Cook the omelette for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to lift and bubbles form on the surface.
Gently flip the omelette using a spatula, and cook for another 2-3 minutes. If needed, reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning.
Once cooked, remove the omelette from the skillet onto a plate, and repeat with the remaining batter.
Fill each omelette with half of the sautéed vegetable mix and a few cherry tomato halves.
Fold the omelette over to enclose the filling and serve warm.
Garnish with additional nutritional yeast or your preferred herbs for added flavor.
