Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 small Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Start by peeling and slicing the potatoes into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick. Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes and a pinch of salt, and sauté for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and golden. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for about 5 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is fragrant. Then, add the cooked potatoes back into the skillet and mix well.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until you get a smooth batter. Add more water if the batter is too thick (it should be pourable but not too runny).
Pour the chickpea flour batter over the potato-onion mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook the omelette for about 10-15 minutes, or until the edges start to lift away from the pan and the surface looks set.
To cook the top side, carefully slide the omelette onto a large plate. Cover the plate with the skillet, and flip them over so the uncooked side is now at the bottom. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Once cooked through, slide the omelette onto a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
