Recipe for Pea Flour

Savory Pea Flour Pancakes (Besan Chilla) (Indian-Style Vegan Omelette)

(Serves 2–3)

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pea flour (gram flour/besan)

• ½ cup water (adjust for batter consistency)

• ½ tsp turmeric

• ½ tsp cumin powder

• ½ tsp red chili powder (optional)

• ½ tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ cup finely chopped onions

• ¼ cup chopped tomatoes

• ¼ cup chopped cilantro (coriander leaves)

• 1 small green chili, finely chopped (optional)

• 1 tbsp oil (for cooking)

Instructions:

1. Make the batter – In a bowl, mix pea flour, turmeric, cumin, chili powder, salt, and water to form a smooth, slightly thin batter (like pancake batter).

2. Add veggies – Stir in onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and green chili.

3. Cook the pancakes – Heat a non-stick pan on medium, lightly grease with oil. Pour a ladleful of batter, spread gently into a thin circle.

4. Cook until golden – Drizzle a little oil around the edges. Flip after 2–3 mins and cook the other side until crisp.

5. Serve hot – Enjoy with mint chutney, yogurt, or ketchup!

Variations:

✔ Spicy Pea Flour Fritters (Pakoras) – Add sliced potatoes or spinach, deep-fry in small batches.
✔ Pea Flour Flatbread (Socca) – Mix with olive oil, bake for a gluten-free bread alternative.
✔ Pea Flour Scramble – Cook like scrambled eggs with veggies for a vegan breakfast.

Pea flour is high in protein, fiber, and iron, making it a fantastic gluten-free alternative. Try it in baking (muffins, cookies) or as a thickener in soups! 🌱🥞
