Instructions

Prepare the Batter
Begin by preparing the batter for the omelette. In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour (besan), all-purpose flour (maida), red chilli powder, salt, and chaat masala powder. Add water gradually to form a smooth and thin batter. Stir the batter well until all the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. -
Add the Baking Powder
Once the batter is smooth, add baking powder and mix it well. The baking powder helps make the batter light and fluffy when cooked, giving the omelette its texture. -
Prepare the Vegetables
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to grease it. Once the butter melts, toss in the finely chopped onions, green chillies, fresh coriander leaves, and tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables for a few seconds until they become slightly tender and fragrant. -
Cook the Omelette
Now, pour 1 ladle (or more, depending on the size of your pan) of the prepared batter onto the pan. Spread it evenly to form a round shape. Let the batter cook for a few seconds until it begins to firm up. -
Add the Bread
Place a slice of whole wheat bread in the center of the batter. Once the bread is slightly soaked by the batter, carefully flip it to coat the other side. Let the omelette cook on one side, and then flip it over along with the bread to cook the other side evenly. -
Tuck the Omelette
When both sides of the omelette are golden and crispy, tuck the omelette around the bread slice. This helps secure the bread inside the batter. -
Serve
Once cooked, carefully remove the eggless bread omelette from the pan. Repeat the process for the remaining slices of bread and batter. -
Enjoy!
Serve the Eggless Bread Omelette hot, and pair it with a refreshing drink like a Spiced Pumpkin Smoothie for a wholesome breakfast experience.
Tips for the Best Eggless Bread Omelette
- Make it Spicy: If you prefer a spicier dish, you can increase the quantity of green chillies or even add a pinch of cayenne pepper or black pepper to the batter.
- Add More Vegetables: Feel free to add more chopped vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or carrots to increase the nutritional value and flavor of the omelette.
- Choose Your Bread Wisely: Whole wheat bread works best for this recipe, but you can use multigrain or sourdough for a different texture and taste.
- Vegan Option: This recipe is already eggless, but for a fully vegan version, replace the butter with a plant-based alternative like coconut oil or vegan butter.
