Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Chickpea flour (gram flour)
- 240 ml Water
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 0.25 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Kala namak (black salt)
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, water, nutritional yeast, turmeric powder, kala namak, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until the batter is smooth and lump-free, then set aside to rest while preparing other ingredients.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir the cooked onion and garlic into the batter.
Add the chopped parsley, ground black pepper, and adjust salt to taste in the batter. Mix well.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet over medium heat. Pour the batter into the skillet, spreading it evenly to form an omelette shape.
Cook the tortilla for 4-5 minutes on one side until the edges start to set and the middle is mostly firm. Carefully flip the tortilla using a spatula or plate, then cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
Once golden and cooked through, remove the tortilla from the skillet and let it rest for a minute before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Pair with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
