Ingredients
  

  • cup garbanzo bean flour
  • ¼ teaspoon kala namak (black salt)
  • tablespoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • ½ cup water

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl whisk together dry ingredients. Whisk in water until batter comes together and no dry ingredients remain. Let batter sit for 1-2 minutes while you heat a non-stick skillet to medium heat.*
  • Lightly spray skillet with oil or melt vegan butter to prevent sticking. Pour on chickpea egg mixture and top with desired toppings if using. Cook over medium heat for about 4-5 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to carefully fold in half (or fold in edges to make a square, perfect for a breakfast sandwich) and cook another 1-2 minutes per side to finish and slightly brown. Top with a light sprinkle of kala namak and serve as an omelet or place on toasted bread with your favorite condiments for a delicious breakfast sandwich!

Notes

Thick Batter Troubleshooting- As the batter sits, it will thicken. Ideally you'll want your chickpea egg batter to sit for 1-2 minutes before cooking. It should look similar to a pancake batter right before cooking. If you go to cook and its too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to thin it out. A thick batter may lead to a dry egg.
