How to make chickpea<\/span> omelette<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>

Making a chickpea<\/span> omelette<\/span> is <\/span>easier than you think<\/b><\/span>. The main ingredients are chickpea<\/span> flour<\/span> and water. Just mix those together, add some salt<\/span><\/span> and<\/span> spices and pour into the pan. Don’t be scared if the smell or taste is bitter, it changes tremendously after you cook it. And keep in mind that chickpea<\/span> omelettes<\/span> tend to stick to the pan more than regular\u00a0omelettes<\/span>.

\u00a0<\/h2>

Can this be made into a scramble rather than an omelette<\/span>?<\/span><\/h2>

Yes, if you mess up your chickpea<\/span> omelette<\/span>, feel free to transform it into a chickpea<\/span> flour<\/span> scramble<\/strong> instead. Just start breaking the omelette<\/span> and let it cook until it reaches the consistency you desire.<\/span><\/p>

Is chickpea<\/span> flour<\/span> low fodmap?<\/span><\/h2>

Chickpeas are rather high fodmap but it’s all about the quantity<\/strong>. In low fodmap diet it’s suggested to eat a certain amount \u00bc cup (42g) canned chickpeas. Why canned?<\/strong> Because when chickpeas are soaked in the water the fodmaps (mostly Oligosaccharides) in chickpeas are leached out.<\/span><\/p>

It depends on <\/span>the ingredients<\/b><\/span> you use.

Ingredients<\/span><\/h2>

Chickpea<\/b><\/span> <\/b>flour<\/b><\/span>:<\/b><\/span> This can’t be replaced by any other flour<\/span> in this recipe<\/span> because it is the main ingredient and its flavor is important. You can use store-bought or homemade chickpea<\/span> flour<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Liquid:<\/b><\/span> Use plant-based milk or water if you want to make it dairy-free.<\/span><\/p>

Vegetables<\/b><\/span>:<\/b><\/span> Add in any vegetables<\/span> you like. In this recipe,<\/span> I used red <\/span>bell <\/span><\/span>pepper<\/span><\/span> and tomato<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>

Turmeric<\/b><\/span>:<\/b><\/span> It is important to use turmeric<\/span> to get the yellow color an omelette<\/span> has.<\/span><\/p>

Curry powder:<\/b><\/span> Chickpea<\/span> flour<\/span> itself can be a little strange at first but curry powder will make it more delicious.<\/span><\/p>

Salt<\/b><\/span>:<\/b><\/span> Use black <\/span>salt<\/span> to get that extra egg flavor. But any other salt<\/span> will do. I like to use Himalayan or Sea salt<\/span> which is better for your body than regular table salt<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>
