QUICK FLATBREAD RECIPE
▪️ 300g all-purpose flour, plus more as needed
▪️ 1 heaping tsp kosher salt
▪️ 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
▪️ 140g (5 ounces) creamy vegan coconut yogurt
▪️ 105 mL water
▪️ Extra virgin olive oil
▪️ Flaky sea salt
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, and the baking powder. Whisk well. Add the water and yogurt and use a silicone spatula or your hands to combine until it forms a dough.
2. Generously flour a work surface and add the dough. Knead it with your hands for 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. If the dough is sticky, add a little more flour to your work surface and roll into the dough.
3. Add a little bit of oil to the bowl, add the dough, and cover with a towel. Rest for 15 minutes.
4. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, divide the dough into six portions (use a bench scraper).
5. Lightly flour your work surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the first round of dough into a oval-ish shape, rolling outward and off instead of rolling back and forth. Dust the rolling pin with flour if the dough sticks to it.
6. Test if the pan is hot enough: add a drop of water - if it sizzles immediately, it’s ready. Drizzle a small amount of oil into the pan spread it out with a towel.
7. Carefully lift up the dough round and add it to the hot pan. Once you see bubbles all over and the bottom is a little charred in spots, flip and cook on the other side until you see some charred spots on the second side.
8. Take off the heat and brush with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt. Roll out each dough round one by one and repeat the cooking process (don’t roll them out in advance, or they can get sticky).

I've probably made at least 50 of your recipes by now and every single one of them came out fantastic! How are you so good at this??? Lol. Going to make this next week for sure! Happy Holidays from VA! 🙂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

🥰 Jackie! You’re always so sweet! Delighted as always that to love my recipes.

[@asharma636]

Sounds Wonderful!! Would you please share how you liked the recipe once you make it. I have eaten chana masala all my life and I need a little mindset shift to try different spices for this stew even though I make hummus, falafel etc using chickpeas all the time 😊

[@ayidas]

I would buy her cookbook (not the instapot one) in a heartbeat! Please make one Nisha! Please, for us!

[@jackiecuba3414]

@@ayidas She's on the final stages of publishing her next cookbook which will not be an instant pot book. I believe it's coming out some time next year. I'm super excited for it too! But tbh, her instant pot cookbook is amazing! You should give it a try! 😉

[@jackiecuba3414]

@@asharma636 Hi there! As promised, I'm here to report back on what I thought of this recipe. First and foremost, it was easier than I expected. I bought pre-cut butternut squash to reduce the prep time which made a world of difference. I didn't have time to make the pita so I served it over rice instead. I did make the yogurt sauce BUT tbh I probably won't make the sauce next time because this dish tastes perfectly fine on its own. My very picky best friend who's vegan and her boyfriend who's a meat eater both loved this dish and went for seconds. So needless to say, I def recommend this recipe and will certainly make it again in the future. 😊

[@jaycee5631]

Just made this tonight for my family. Incredibly delicious. They already requested it be added to the "regulars" rotation (with the red lentil curry, a staple )

[@RainbowPlantLife]

🥳 so delighted to hear the whole family loved it!!

[@susannefitzpatrick9955]

I made this for my family who were visiting from Europe. My Aunt is a VERY accomplished cook and I’m always intimidated when she comes to stay even though I’m quite a good cook myself. I made this stew & the flatbreads for them and they were BLOWN AWAY!! My Aunt said it’s one of the most delicious recipes she’s ever eaten and got me to translate the recipe for her to take home. We then decided to have a ‘vegan week’ so I cooked many of your recipes and they were transformed into becoming at least part-vegan - result!!!! Thank you so much. x

[@dawninthemountains]

For my non Vegan family, all I have to say is it is a Rainbow Vegan recipe. They try it - and love it as much as I do!! Thank you!

[@elizabethman7313]

Genius tip for cutting up the squash!

[@TheMightyAtom1]

Apricots go nicely too

[@FrugalNutrition]

Why is it so satisfying that you show yourself cleaning your hands and the surface? Like, I know people (including myself) are washing hands off screen...but that was so satisfying to watch! LOL! Recipe looks great as always, Nisha! 😋

[@claregiammusso7782]

I made this recipe yesterday and it was fantastic. My granddaughter actually ate 2 bowls of it. This made me very happy. She chose your dish over pizza! That's something for a 5 year old. Thank you.

[@ChrisGaultHealthyLiving]

This looks delicious & nutritious, Nisha, I'll have to give it a try! Thanks!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

✔️ and ✔️ Hope you’ll enjoy it, Chris!

[@zepzour7391]

im currently freezing in my apartment lol, hoping just watching this will help warm me up lol

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Did it work?? 🤞🏽

[@zepzour7391]

YES! I had a warming bowl of oatmeal to help, will be making this stew the next chance i get though! My oven is broken tho so I might have to wait a bit haha, or maybe ill try to cook in on the stove top and then jazz it up with the garnishes :D@@RainbowPlantLife

[@swissmiss4u76]

I just made this yesterday. OMG! What a flavor party in my mouth. I am team spicy, but even though I added the extra punch, my mouth wasn't burning. It was a flavor explosion extraordinaire! Followed by a warm sweetness of the dates. I used 4 dates for a double recipe and it was right on the money for me. Even my carnivore husband, who doesn't like squash in general loved this meal. You have outdone yourself on this one Nisha! AAA+++++

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This comment made my morning! Thank you 🥰

[@malee4161]

PLEASE MAKE MORE STEWSSSSSS

[@PriyankaB1981]

I'm excited to share this channel with everyone who thinks I'm too fragile to cook a hearty meal. Yes, I've found an incredible, funny, and talented chef who shares my delightful clumsiness 😄❤

[@RainbowPlantLife]

🥰 that’s so sweet to hear! 🤗

[@KatherineTurpin0420]

Made this for supper tonight. FanTAStic!! Spices were just right, yogurt added creaminess, and the bread/naan was perfect! Thank you!❤

[@haydynfoulke6690]

I’m a super fan! Everything I’ve ever made from you had knocked my socks off. You’ve helped me eat healthier and less meat. I am so grateful to you for all the delicious meals (and time & money I’ve saved. Thank you for putting your gifts and your silliness out into the world. It would mean a lot if you could cook a traditional Palestinian recipe and uplift what is happening in Gaza right now.

[@adriennefriend]

Hi Nisha! I've been watching your videos for a few weeks, and last night I made your brownies. I am a former vegan personal chef and have been vegan for over 20 years. I enjoy your style and videos way more than any other modern vegan content creator/KZbin chef. I was thinking about why, and I think a big part of it has to do with how expressive you are. You smile, you laugh, you make funny faces, you look silly. Your behavior doesn't feel fake, performative, or calculated. You seem REAL and genuine! And best of all, you actually have lines on your face -- in this age of filters, fillers, and Botox, it's so wonderful and refreshing to see actual BIG smiles and forehead crinkles and smile lines. All of this put together makes you so much more fun to watch, and so much easier to connect with your important content. Please keep up the great work.

[@christiankelly6321]

Great video! ... Recipe, video visuals, and your opening/intro 👏👏👏

[@tiotito31]

I would just like to say my wife and I have been doing your RPL Meal Plan and it is BOMB! So many recipes have been way better than the vegan meals we have at restaurants. We're so glad we found your channel.

[@cezannex6820]

Wow! Just wow! Yet again I am so amazed by your recipes and perfect usage of spices in them, leading to yet another delicious dish which tastes just like as if I'm in a Moroccan restaurant or something. You make me feel like a great chef!!😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Feeling like a great chef is one of the best feelings! So happy you loved the Tagine!

[@tofueeter]

I recently found your channel. I made this yesterday and it turned out so deliciously! I can't wait to try more of your recipes. Thanks for the inspiration!😊

[@puddin1226b]

Squash in the microwave is brilliant!!!

[@MotherlyEssence]

Looks so good!!!

[@cathyandrews2391]

This is incredibly delicious, and even better cold the next day. Thank you so much ☺️

[@fierywomanoffaith]

This looks so good! Def making this for my mom this Christmas!

[@liveelevated8264]

Omg, we just made this and it is soooo delicious!!! I can't thank you enough for this one. Will be making this often!

[@Magar6]

Amazing recipe. Our family loved it sooooo much!

[@astralromance]

Apart from the great recipe.... I wanted to say THANK YOU for being considerate enough to do a voice-over during tasting 👍🏆! Most other youtubers end their recipe videos with a full-mouthed "shhhhoow good" 😬🤯 while wiping the side of their mouth 😖.

[@hmwelch99]

So wonderfully presented and look fantastic, another one going on my “make this soon” list!

[@PipMiller]

Tip I learned from the comments elsewhere on KZbin: hold the can opener horizontally over the top of the can and open it that way (took me a minute to get it right). It cuts the entire top off, no chance to cut yourself on sharp edges. Game changer! Also, LOVE your channel so much!!!

[@berndloffeld3141]

I just finished cooking it. Tastes amazing. Thank you very much!

[@najebie14]

Picked up your instant pot cookbook🔥🔥🔥 The walnut/lentil wraps will be a new staple ❤

[@yuniakaminska5385]

Looks amazing

[@theoriginaltaurus]

It was good. Loved it.

[@racheldaniels7858]

Yay! I love when things align and a new yummy recipe pops up that uses all the stuff I already have in the kitchen. Will be making it this weekend. Thanks!

I just made this today, went 100% by the recipe and outstanding!! I am not vegan, and I thought it was absolutelly scrumptious 100% recommend and next I am making the red lentil curry..can’t wait :P ❤❤❤ 5 stars!

[@laureneharrison8897]

Drooling!!! Definitely making this & always like to try new spices so I’m curious about the ras el hanout. Thank you 😊🇨🇦

[@Dogsnark]

Your cooking channel is simply the best! Even if I don’t make all the recipes, I still learn so much watching you work.

[@jenjibur]

This looks so yummy! I can't wait to try it! I feel warm & cozy just thinking about eating it.

I just made this and ohhhhhh man. I may have said "omg" after every bite. Good grief just absolutely astounding. Love your recipes. Keep it up and I'm definitely going to try the meal planning

[@fredforever71]

ohhhh yummmmy! I am looking forward to making this one this winter! Thank youuuuu

Thanks Nisha. Lovely.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching create this delicious stew. I’ve just finished my last bowl of chickpea and lentil stew, it was so delicious. I’m definitely going to try this out though. And make the flatbreads too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@olgapyrkina6788]

Tried your recipe today. It is so good!!! Felt that my body really needed it. It has so many flavor notes in it. Physically my body said "Thank you". 🤩🤩🤩

[@mammakleve]

This was so delicious and warming. Will add this to my favorites. Thank you.

[@ronm6585]

Thank you R.P.L

[@suz9213]

You’re like the Julia Roberts (comedy side) of Indian Vegan Cooking! 😄 Stew looks yummy.

[@vidhikadakia]

I tried out this recipe for lunch, pairing it with paratha. At first, I wasn't sure if adding raisins to chickpeas would taste good. However, because I've tried Nisha's recipes before and they've always turned out well, I decided to trust her. It ended up being a delicious dish! My mom even commented on how tasty and healthy it was because of the added veggies. I threw in some spinach and carrots for extra nutrition.

[@RedHeadAgent]

Looks delicious. I can’t wait to make it this week.

[@margaretlockwood9382]

Just made this. It is delicious. Thank you

[@johnford7847]

Great tip on microwaving the squash. I usually bake them whole, but it's difficult to judge the appropriate length of time. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-ti6xr3om6y]

Cant wait to try this!

[@Daniela-qs1nd]

I love your recipes and this one looks delicious as always! Will def try :) Thank you!!❤️

[@janetkemper9177]

I’m definitely going to make this! Looks so good.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

🥳 love to hear it, Janet! Enjoy!

[@kimberlymurphy1759]

Looks soo good

[@EnglishAtkins]

I made this on Monday night and could eat it for lunch and dinner every day. Oh, wait! I have been eating it for lunch and dinner every day. So delicious - and it seems to be getting better each day. This will be on regular rotation in my meal plans. Thank you. I am LOVING your channel and recipes as a vegan-curious human who loves to cook.

[@pleggli]

I made the stew with lemony saffron couscous to go with it which was a very good combo.

[@youllthinkofme2011]

Looks yummy! My hubby is Moroccan so these flavors are quite familiar! One thing though... I never saw dates cooked in Tagine, especially Medjool ones. Those are eaten as appetizers at the beginning of a meal. Dryer dates, more fibrous dates maybe. More commonly , you will see raisins, apricots or prunes in tagine or couscous.

[@brianmccabe3026]

Hi from across the Pond. Well I’ve just made (& eaten!) this tagine and I can honestly say it’s one of the best I’ve ever had! My wife and I loved it! I didn’t have any medjool dates so I had to use dried chopped baking dates, so I put dried apricots and sultanas in and a swirl of honey before adding lots of cilantro. Superb!! Thanks so much for sharing and can’t wait to try some more of your recipes. All the best for the season.

[@danielperea6211]

Just what I needed today, chickpeas, winter food

[@Matcha_Max]

Yum, looks divine. Would love to try a tagine from Morocco

[@cathyggill]

That looks so good! will definitely be trying it.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Love to hear that, Cathy!

[@dskfghds]

This looks perfect! It's already snowing where I live, and I'm super exited to make this, once I get my hands on some Ras el Hanout. Also looking forward to making the ugliest ameba bread :D.

[@eduardusleeuwenhoofd6870]

This was great! Delicious stuff. Thanks

[@bataneca]

I am going to try the last one ❤

[@NerdfightingMom]

This looks delicious!

[@corrigoates8105]

I made this last night and it was an absolute hit. I'm cooking at 3500 feet so it took longer but was so warm and satisfying!

[@proteinaggie]

Thanks for all your hard work. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the "jump to reciepe" button on your page.

[@coreyadams1982]

I will definitely try this

[@josephbarr4468]

This is a "must make" for me. Can't wait!

[@snowydoes]

This was definitely delicious, thank you 😊

[@Ramyapad19]

Cant wait to make this soon for me i never had moroccan chickpea stew before perfect for my after office meals

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Ramya! Hope you’re doing well :)

[@emeraldobrien5543]

This was delicious! Thank you!

[@nealieanderson512]

I cant wait to try!!

[@immahotpepper]

I've never written a comment for any recipe, even if they turn out great. But THIS. THIS WAS INCREDIBLE. I was blown away and did happy dances whilst I ate the entire bowl. I even made the naan recipe to go with it and it was the best naan i've ever made. The chickpea stew looks like an average vegan stew, kinda blah. But the spices and flavour were just next level. The addition of the dates (I also put in raisins as well) really elevated the dish. I put in 3 chili peppers and my god... explosion in my mouth. SO GOOD. I sent a picture to my friend as I was eating it. I was in heaven. Thank you!!!

[@user-bm4kr4ih5k]

You’re so hilarious! You’re a blessing to this world!

[@TA-vj8ex]

Love your videos. That soup looks so good. I love chickpeas.

"Let's get to cooking!". That's a great title for your next book. Or a signature for your videos. A yummy recipe indeed.

[@marathorne6821]

Looks awesome! We love a tagine 😋 so I'll have a go at making this one after our next trip to the greengrocers 😊

[@shelleypicott3239]

Looks like a winner for recovery time. Making this next week.

[@julsz528]

I can’t wait to try this ❤ I can’t wait to see what more you make for comfort food for winter .. how about some hearty soups ?

[@shirleymartin8190]

I made this last night and it was delicious! Even my picky 16-yr old niece ate it. We even made a batch of flatbread. Thanks so much for these great recipes. I'm not Vegan; but I'm loving watching and learning from your shows. Thanks!!

Thank you!😊

[@marabevan6524]

Every recipe I've made is delicious

[@msneccy2485]

That looks delicious 💜💜

[@earthlytable]

Made this yesterday with modifications. I had no squash and used a cauliflower and a few potatoes instead. I also used fresh cut tomatoes that was probably double the amount in the recipe. It was really good! I think i did too much Cayenne, but I definitely will be making this again. I love all the spices.

[@user-jw5nh6ml4p]

I just watched he'd your video for Chickpea Stew. Very well presented and easy to follow. It was a pleasant change from some of the presenters who try to be too comedic and detract from what is important. I will follow your channel in future. Cheers, John Hamilton, Canada
