Veggie Omelet


 Veggie Omelet is an eggless omelet, yet packed with enough proteins through chickpea flour. We like to enjoy it with tomato ketchup. It goes well for breakfast as well as quick lunch or afternoon snack. This makes it a perfect ‘Vegan Recipe’ when made with vegetable oil or no oil. It’s also Gluten Free and Dairy Free.

Ingredients:
1. Red onion - 1/2
2. Bell pepper- 1/2 small
3. Tomato - 1
4. Cilantro - handful
5. Red chili powder - 1 TBSP
6. Roasted cumin powder  - 1 TBSP
7. Chickpea Flour/ Gram flour/ Besan - 1.5 cups
7. Salt - as per taste

Method:
1. Finely chop veggie and add all spices. Set aside for 5 min. The salt will help to sweat the veggies more.
2. Fold in chickpea flour and add little water. The batter should be bit runny, similar consistency of Dosa batter.

3. Heat flat bottom nonstick pan or griddle. Pour 1 ladle full of batter on the hot griddle. Drizzle 1/2 tbsp on oil on the sides of the omelet and a little bit on the top. I make it without oil. Electric griddle and non-stick do not require any oil. Flip it to get both sides golden brown. 

For kids, you could add oil in the batter also.
One of the favored variations in our household is to top the omelet with shredded cheese.
