The BEST Fluffy Eggless Omelettes
Want to make omelettes for breakfast and find out that you are out of eggs? No worries! I have the best eggless omelette recipe for you which is very easy to make and looks, tastes, feels and smells like regular omelets.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea Flour Besan
- 1 tablespoon oil (I used sunflower oil)
- ⅛-1/4 teaspoon salt
- ½-3/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1-2 tablespoons onion finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons peppers finely chopped
- 1-2 tablespoons spinach chopped
- 1-2 teaspoon cilantro finely chopped
- 2 count chilies green chopped
- As needed ground pepper optional
Instructions
- In a medium-size bowl sieve the besan flour. To that add oil, ⅛th of a teaspoon salt, and ½ cup of water and whisk it well without any lumps.
- To the batter add the yogurt and baking soda. Whisk it well and leave the batter to froth for about 2-3 minutes.
- Now add all the vegetables, herbs, and spices that you are planning to use. Add some more water if necessary. The batter should not be as thick as pancake batter. It should have a thin consistency. Taste for seasoning and add more salt if needed.
- Heat a non-stick pan and spray it with cooking spray or add some butter. Once the pan is warm enough pour a ladleful of batter and swirl the pan around.
- Add some ground black pepper, shredded cheese on top of the omelet (optional). Let it cook for a minute or two and flip the omelette and cook for another minute.
- Repeat the same process for the rest of the batter. The Healthy Veggie Omelette recipe is ready! Serve it with ketchup or Indian coriander/green chutney.
Notes
Vegans might want a substitute for yogurt. You can either try some non-dairy yogurt or else please wait for me to try the recipe without yogurt and I will update it here.
Taste & Texture
- My son and husband who have tried the usual omelets said that this omelette without eggs, looks, feels, tastes, and smells like regular omelets. I guess I have a winner!
- This version of eggless omelette with baking soda does give an eggy smell to the omelettes. I have tried this recipe with Eno fruit salt instead of baking soda which did not leave any smell. This was my son's observation.
