Vegan omelets are tricky. Some have the right texture, some have the right flavor, some have a bit of both but not exactly. Chickpea flour makes a good substitute for an omelet, it being high in protein and yellow :). There\u2019s 10 gm protein and 5 grams fiber in each chickpea omelet! They however can have a dense texture once they cool. You want to serve these right off the skillet for the best fluffier texture. <\/p>\n

This format of vegan omelet recipe comes courtesy of my husband, Vivek. If you want to get to know Vivek, we did a recipe video together<\/a> on YouTube with my chickpea loaf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When Vivek cooks weekend brunch, he goes for Indian breakfast dishes like chilla<\/a>,(which is unleavened chickpea flour pancakes) or poha<\/a> <\/a>.<\/p>\n

One weekend, he decided to up his game and experiment with my chickpea flour omelet recipe. He wanted onion-tomato uttapam (South Indian pancakes), so he improvised to make the chickpea flour pancake with onion and tomato slices.
I often make it his way. Other times I chop up veggies and add to the batter along with some vegan cheese. <\/p>\n

I add some baking soda and non dairy yogurt for fluffiness and moisture, some flax seed meal for binding, Kala namak(Indian sulphur salt) for the eggy flavor.
This vegan omelet is super versatile! Make it your own by adding nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor or leaning more into that Indian chilla flavor with some carom seedsor Cumin seeds.<\/p>\n

For an even fluffier chickpea flour omelet, blend the batter in a blender. That will add more air to the batter. The texture is best when hot off the skillet. Chickpea flour, lentil flour pancakes set up and get denser as they sit. So serve freshly made. You can make the batter and refrigerate for upto 3 days so you can make the omelet when needed!<\/p>\n

No matter how you prepare it, this egg-free omelette is absolutely delicious with a light, fluffy texture.<\/p>\n
