Procedure

  1. In a bowl, mix the chickpea flour, baking powder, salt, turmeric, and paprika until combined.
  2. Gradually add in the soy milk, and mix until the batter is fully combined.
  3. Heat up a skillet on medium heat and add the olive oil. Spread the oil across the pan and let it heat up a little.
  4. Pour the batter into the skillet. Cook until bubbles form in the middle. Then, carefully flip using a spatula.
  5. Cook the other side for about 30 seconds.
  6. Serve.

Notes, tips, and variations

  • Experiment with adding ingredients into the batter such as chives, bell peppers, and onions.
  • Nutritional yeast can be added to give a sense of umami.
  • Using water instead of soya milk causes more batter spread, giving you a larger but thinner omelette.
