Besan Omelette

I decided to take the basic recipe and jazz it up a bit more. I added way more cilantro and garlic, used garlic-chili sauce instead of fresh chilis, plus I thought green peppers would make a nice addition. Just before cooking, I also added a splash of lemon juice and some cumin.

And this is how the cooked version looked.

I made the full recipe and ended up with a few "omelettes". The first one was too thick (apparently I forgot the consistency of yogurt) so I watered down the batter before cooking the rest. I think, in total, I used almost 2 cups of water.

I think this is a great recipe to play with. Next time, I'd love to add different spices and vegetables to create different flavours and textures. And there will be a next time. The boy's comment when asked if he'd eat it again: "Sh*t, yeah."

Besan (Chick Pea Flour) Omelette


I'm going to jump right in with a suggestion for a recipe I found last week: Besan Omelette.

I used to enjoy omelettes and this one sounds so interesting. When the Cook-a-long recipe was pakoras, it was my first time using chickpea flour and I can really see how it would work as an omelette!

Interested?
