So here in India we call it besan ka cheela i.e. chickpea flour crepe and here is our version Take chickpea flour, add chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, chopped coriander, chopped chillies, cumin seeds, cumin powder, salt and if u want red chillie powder.. add water make a semi thick batter.. take a pan.. add 1 spoon oil.. spread it then spread the batter over it and make it thin through the spatula. It's easy and super tasty

Thank you for the efforts put in. For those who have objections on use of oil, Oil is added to make it soft. In case someone wishes to skip oil, they may replace it with Curd / Yogurt. Healthier too. Chickpea flour produces flatulence. hence to balance it one may add chopped ginger and carrom seeds.

I have to avoid oil for health reasons so I never add oil into the mix, just a wipe for the pan, and it is fine, or sometimes I just bake it in a silpat lined sheet pan, and use it as a base for toppings or as a pizza crust. To mix the batter I just toss everything into the blender with a bit of active yogurt, blend til lukewarm, and let it sit covered on the counter for a few hours to ferment before cooking. Cuts the beany aftertaste, gives a bit of rise, and helps with digestion.

a much easier chick pea flat bread. 1 c chick pea flour, 1 1/2 water, 1 t salt, 3 tblspons olive oil, divided, fresh rosemary. preheat 400. you need a cast iron skillet 12". put the skillet in the oven for 5 min. put half of the oil in the pan . pour in the batter. add chopped rosemary and the remaining oil on top. bake 30 minutes. this is a french recipe that they call Socca. top notch!

These are so delicious! Quick and easy to make, too. You can add lots of different spices and vegetables 👌👍

I love making chickpea flatbread and chickpea pancakes. High protein, gluten free, grain free and plant-based - can’t be beat!

Made it today, turned out awesome. Didn't add onions, herbs, or spices. Just some salt.I didn't make it wait at the fridge, either. Directly made it. Also poured it to fill the full pan, filling the ladle twice, and it turned out awesome! Recommended! Ate it with a one-pot, juicy meat dish and with some green beans. Tasted great and kept me full. Highly recommend using a sieve, there were little lumps in the dough. I used it before adding the oil so that the first cup I used and that I have to wash doesn't get oily. The sieve is easy and it pays off. Edit: Tried this recipe once more but with pre-cooked chickpea flour, and that doesn't work. It turns into a puree. Stick with non-cooked chickpea flour.

Thank you! So yummy and simple! Who needs heavy bread? These are great to dunk in soup! They really are good with hummus on top as well!💕

Hi, ms schofield being a Pakistani have tried the traditional besan roti which is later slobbered with ghee or butter to soften them and eaten with red Chili & garlic sauce.So had my Wife try out your recipe and it turned out fantastic the bread was soft & fluffy had it with yogurt (raita) I’m in heaven thanks!!
