Vegan Omelette

Step 1

Watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Heat about 1-2 teaspoons of oil in a skillet and add the onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes until the veggies are softened, then turn off the heat.

Step 2

Meanwhile, grind 60 grams of red lentils (or split mung beans) in an electric coffee/spice grinder (or high-speed blender) until it's flour. You can also use store-bought lentil flour or mung bean flour. Chickpea flour works too.

Step 3

Combine all dry ingredients (ground lentils, tapioca flour, salt, black pepper, cumin, smoked paprika, Kala namak, and turmeric) in a medium-large bowl and stir until combined.

Step 4

Add the water and stir with a whisk. Also, add the cooked veggies and fresh herbs (I used parsley), and stir again with a spoon.Allow the batter to sit: Allowing the batter to sit for 5-10 minutes helps create a better consistency. It's not necessary though, but if you have the time, leave it for an extra few minutes.

Step 5

Heat a few teaspoons of oil in a skillet (use the same that you used to saute the veggies, just wipe it clean with a tissue) and pour in half of the batter once the oil is hot.

Step 6

Spread it evenly with a spoon and let the omelette cook over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, then flip it over with a spatula (pancake turner) and cook the other side for a few minutes.

Step 7

Repeat this process with the other omelette, serve, and enjoy!
