Elaboració

Pas a pas

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour and water until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.

    Uns 2 min

    Nota de cuina: Ensure the batter is not too thick or too thin; it should have a pourable consistency like pancake batter.

  2. 2

    Add the red onion, tomato, green chili, fresh ginger, fresh cilantro, turmeric powder, cumin powder, red chili powder (if using), and salt to the batter.

    Uns 5 min

    Nota de cuina: Adjust the amount of green chili and red chili powder to your preferred spice level.

  3. 3

    Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

    Uns 1 min

  4. 4

    Heat half of the oil in a non-stick pan or griddle over medium heat.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: A well-heated pan is crucial for a crisp chilla.

  5. 5

    Pour about half of the batter onto the hot pan and spread it evenly into a circular shape, about 6-8 inches in diameter.

    Uns 1 min

    Nota de cuina: Use the back of a ladle or spoon to gently spread the batter.

  6. 6

    Cook for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to crisp and the top looks set.

    Uns 4 min

  7. 7

    Drizzle a little oil around the edges and carefully flip the chilla.

  8. 8

    Cook for another 2-3 minutes on the second side until golden brown and cooked through.

    Uns 3 min

  9. 9

    Remove the cooked chilla from the pan and repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil if needed.

    Uns 3 min

  10. 10

    Serve the vegan chickpea omelettes hot with chutney or yogurt.
