Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g All-purpose flour
- 130 ml Water
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
- 100 g Chickpea flour
- 2 tbsp Nutritional yeast
- 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
- 0.5 tsp Black salt (Kala Namak)
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 1 Green chili, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp Fresh coriander, chopped
- 200 ml Water for chickpea batter
Instructions
In a large bowl, mix all-purpose flour with 130 ml of water, 1 tsp salt, and 1 tbsp of vegetable oil. Knead well to form a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, prepare the chickpea 'egg' mixture. In a separate bowl, combine chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, black salt, and the remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Gradually add 200 ml of water, whisking continuously to form a smooth batter.
Add chopped onion, green chili, and coriander to the chickpea batter, stirring well to incorporate all the ingredients.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 4 equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and then flatten into a disc using a rolling pin, aiming for a thin, round shape.
Heat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat.
Place one prata disc on the skillet and cook for about 1-2 minutes on one side until light golden.
Flip the prata and pour a ladleful of chickpea batter onto the cooked side. Spread it evenly with the back of the ladle.
Allow it to cook for another 2 minutes until the chickpea batter sets and starts to brown slightly.
Flip the prata again and cook the side with the chickpea batter for another 1 minute until crisp and golden.
Remove from the skillet and repeat with the remaining dough and chickpea batter.
Serve hot with your favorite chutney or curry.
