Delicious vegetarian chickpea omelette is a traditional dish of Indian cuisine. The omelette is prepared without eggs, based on chickpea flour, with the addition of fresh herbs, vegetables and spicy spices, and when ready, with its sunny yellow color, slightly fried crust and interspersed with a multi-colored scattering of filling, it looks slightly like an egg omelet, hence the name.

Ингредиенты

Chickpea flour - 150 g

Turmeric - 0.25 tsp

Cumin seeds - 0.25 tsp

Coriander - 1 tsp

Salt - 0.5 tsp (+ to taste)

Drinking water - 200 ml

Tomato - 100 g

Sweet pepper (peeled) - 100 g

Red onion - 50-70 g

Parsley / coriander - 11 g

Ginger root - 1-2 cm (4-8 g)

Chili pepper - 2-3 cm (5 g)

Vegetable oil - as needed (for frying)

Рецепт

1. Combine all dry ingredients: chickpea flour, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander and salt.

2. Pour in 200 ml of cold drinking water. Mix everything thoroughly so that there are no lumps left, and let the mixture brew for 30 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, very finely chop the parsley (or coriander), red onion, tomatoes, bell pepper and a small piece of de-seeded hot pepper. Peel the ginger root and grate it on a fine grater. Sweet peppers, instead of being chopped, can be grated on a coarse grater.

4. Add all the prepared ingredients, along with the juice released during the cutting process, to the chickpea mixture.

5. Mix everything thoroughly, taste the mixture and, if necessary, add a little more salt to taste.

6. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and with a brush, in a thin layer, grease it with vegetable oil. Add about 4-5 tbsp to the pan. the resulting mixture. If necessary, tilt the pan slightly in different directions so that the mixture is evenly distributed over the bottom of the pan.

7. Fry the resulting chickpea omelet for 4-5 minutes, until the surface of the dough becomes matte and the underside is browned.

8. Sprinkle the surface of the omelet with a small amount of vegetable oil (about 0.5-1 tsp).

9. Then turn over and fry for another 1-1.5 minutes on the other side. Transfer the hot omelette to a plate and, if necessary, repeat the procedure. I cook my omelet in a 24 cm pan, so this amount of ingredients usually makes 4 chickpea omelettes. If you add a little salad or fresh vegetables as an accompaniment, then I would say that you get 2 fairly satisfying servings, but this is as a guideline, because everyone's appetite is different.

10. Chickpea omelette is ready. Bon appetit!
