Mind-Blowing Chickpea Vegan Omelette: A Flavor Revolution!

this chickpea omelette recipe will blow your mind, in a good way. Garbanzo beans flour is not a common ingredient in most kitchens, but we highly recommend that you try this recipe to experiment with it. It’s an amazing source of clean protein, fiber, iron, and calcium, and a great vehicle for lots of herbs, spices. My daughter, Sophie (@AlexandSophiasshow) and I sure had a lot of fun creating this video at their kitchen and we hope you enjoy watching it!

Make the batter quickly the night before. Save the baking soda for the morning. You’ll find by letting the batter and herbs meld over night, especially the chickpea flour that the texture improves substantially. Also a tablespoon of tapioca flour and 1/3 cup of freshly ground flaxseed flour will improve the texture and the flavor remarkably. I keep a jar of a mix that I prepared from ground chia, chickpea flour, ground flaxseed, tapioca flour and ground red lentil. I grind all my own flours, mix and keep in the fridge. Instant, healthy crepe or pancake mix for both sweat or savory meals, flat breads, etc.

Great tips! Thank you for sharing!

[@buddhapiyao1315]

if you really want the Omlette to look and taste like a real egg omlette use Vegan peanut curd or coconut curd and /or use flaxseed gel. just take 2 teaspoons of flaxseed and boil it with a glass of water. for cooking purposes boil it for just about 5-7 mins. If you want to use flaxseed gel for hair and skin you need to boil it for a little linger to get a thicker gel consistency. Flaxseed gel behaves exactly like egg whites !! beating some vegan yogurt and flaxseed gel together with chickpea flour will allow the batter to hold a lot of air and your omlette will be nice and fluffy. Ive made vegan scambled eggs with this formula and nobody can make the difference. Try it

[@peggyhall5363]

Thank you. What about flax seeds & the risk of seizures? Some say the risk is minimal to the health benefits.

[@baishalideb5565]

wow thats some info! thanks.

[@buddhapiyao1315]

@@peggyhall5363 never heard of anyone getting seizures with flax seed !! northern India people consume flaxseed in the form of seeds, flour and oil almost every day and they only have beautiful skin and hair. it is vegan Omega 3.

[@carloslopez9766]

How much peanut or coconut curd do you use in the omelet?

[@buddhapiyao1315]

@@carloslopez9766 just enough to make it to the consistency of a pancake batter.

[@susanp5393]

Thanks for your super recipe. I have however discovered that the omelette will be even better if it is made with actual soaked, uncooked chickpeas ( not canned cooked chickpeas)! Instead of chickpea flour, soak a cup of dry chickpeas overnight, then drain and rinse them, and put the soaked chickpeas in a blender with on cup of fresh water and grind this to a fine batter. Pour the batter in a bowl and add all the herbs and spices you mentioned, then and proceed to make the omelette the same way as you did with chickpea flour. You are going to find that the resulting omelette will have a very close consistency to an egg omelette. It took me two years to discover this secret as the vegan omelettes I was eating in some restaurants were so much better than what I was making! Finally, I found the alternative recipe on the web. The same way, one can make Spanish Tortilla and Persian style Koukou ( Persian variety of Tortillas).

[@JADE1300]

interesting, I've never tried this. thank you for the tip. I heard Falafels made this way is also better than canned beans.

[@TheBelievinme]

Funny how the world is experimenting more with chickpea, we Indians are enjoying it from centuries, I love besan(chickpea) Pakoras, pancakes, dhoklas. Imagine the world taking nylon dhokla seriously!!

I'm from India. This recipe is called "Besan Cheela" or Besan chilla here. It is a common breakfast, especially for vegetarians (which most Hindus are).

[@julienicks8691]

In the world we live today everything seems to be reverting back to India, even vegan diets. India is a wealth of knowledge which slowly is creeping out there into the world. But good to see how creative here in adding veg to the mix. Looks delicious, thank you for sharing ❤

The base of so called omelet is ‘Chana na Pudla’ in Gujarati. Very common food among Guju food. Anyway great to see the mother and daughter making a new recipe and I admire their great friendship.

[@JADE1300]

I love Sophie's enthusiasm for yummy healthy Plant-based food. So great to teach your kids young to eat this way, its harder to change them when they get older. I typed up the recipe following your video in case others want it too: DRY INGREDIENTS 1 cup of Chick Pea Flour 1/2 tsp Baking Powder 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika 1/2 tsp Turmeric 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder Salt & Pepper to Taste 2 Tbsp Nutrional Yeast WET INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 Cup of water 1 small bunch of Chives, chopped 1 cup Italian Parsley, chopped 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar VEGETABLE FILLING: 1 Small Red Onion, Chopped 1 Cup Mushroom, Chopped 1 Cup Cherry Tomatoes, Sliced 1 1/2 Cup of Spinach HERBED HUMMUS: 1 Cup Hummus Fresh chopped Dill, Cilantro, Lemon Juice. ARUGULA SALAD: 1 Cup Arugula 2 Small Radish sliced 1/2 Lemon, Juiced

[@manishdassani2550]

This is not Besan ka chilla. Besan is made from Bengal gram lentil. This one was made from Chick pea or Chole. The taste is completely different.

[@gardening-ft6ku]

In india, we use this as a tempura batter. 1 part chickpea flour to .5 part rice flour + pinch of baking soda , salt,. chilli powder and turmeric., this will create perfect batter for frying veggies. Name of the dish is called as Bhajji. We just dip onions, eggplant, banana pepper, plaintain, raw banana, potato, cuban oregano leaf and then deep fry them

[@maxmachiavelli3530]

This is a *very honest* comment ! This is the *first* video that I've seen from your channel. I've seen hundreds of videos made by people from different countries since 2018. Without hesitation I would rate this as the *BEST* video that I've seen !!! 😀😀😁😁 From the name mentioned I would guess that you're from Persia and I dunno whether you're a Mother & Daughter Team *but* you're AWESOME ! The lil' bits of sarcasm & jibes (both ways) (like the one on Fungus as an example) make this a truly memorable experience ! May you and your family ( and all viewers ) have a Healthy & Happy Life, especially right in the midst of the Covid-19 Pandemic; and beyond ! Cheers !

[@wheathusk2499]

This is besan cheela. You can make this with wheat, rice, lentils. This is similar to dosa recipe. If it helps someone great vegans should follow Indian recipes to get their protein tho. So many people in India have been subsisting on plant based food for generations

Perfect for Vegans who are on Plant Based Whole Food. The perfect way to good health. What I like about it is: No eggs, No cheese, no dairy. One small change I will make: No Oil. One can cook this without even a dab of oil...!! I have made it in my kitchen for a change from the raw green leafy juice that I drink everyday. When I come off the 16:8 intermittant fast everyday, this is fantastic. One can savour every bite. Amazing. I urge everyone to try it. Delicious. I have been a vegan all my life. I highly recommend this one. PS - You two in the video are great together. Compliments...!!!
