Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 medium Tomato, finely chopped
- 0.5 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black salt (optional, for an ‘eggy’ flavor)
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 tablespoon Vegan butter or oil
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, black salt (if using), and baking powder.
Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be similar to pancake batter.
Fold in the chopped tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of vegan butter or oil to coat the surface lightly.
Pour half of the batter onto the skillet and spread it into a round shape about 1/4 inch thick using the back of a spoon or spatula.
Cook the omelette for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until bubbles form on the surface and the edges start to lift. Flip carefully with a spatula and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes or until lightly golden.
Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make the second omelette.
Serve the vegan tomato omelettes hot with a side of toast, avocado slices, or your favorite dipping sauce.
