Ingredients(8)

Chickpea flour (besan)1.9 tbsp (21 g)
Water0.6 /4 cup (60 ml)
Ground cumin0.6 /4 tsp
Turmeric powder0.6 /8 tsp
Salt0.6 /8 tsp
Grapeseed oil0.7 tsp (5 ml)
Fresh cilantro, chopped0.6 tbsp (3 g)
Lemon juice0.6 /2 tsp

Instructions

1

In a small bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, water, cumin, turmeric, and salt until smooth and no lumps remain. The batter should have the consistency of thin pancake batter.

2

Heat the grapeseed oil in a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, pour in the chickpea flour batter. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the edges start to set and small bubbles appear on the surface.

3

Using a spatula, break up the batter into smaller curds, as you would with scrambled eggs. Continue to cook, stirring and breaking up the curds, for another 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is mostly dry and resembles scrambled eggs. Be careful not to overcook, which can make it tough.

4

Remove from heat. Stir in the fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, perhaps with a side of sliced tomatoes for extra freshness.
