This filling, savory vegetable frittata from is made with chickpea flour, and vegetables and no Tofu! This batter is very versatile and pairs well with any vegetables or greens. The batter also makes quick pancakes to serve with a variety of sauces.
Kala Namak (Indian sulphur salt) adds the eggy flavor to this frittata. If omitting the kala namak (or if you desire additional flavor), add 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder to the batter. This frittata can be made ahead and served cold. Serve it with some sriracha or your favorite sauce. This Recipe is from my book Vegan Richa’s Everyday Kitchen, which has several other savory breakfasts as well.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch (23cm) pie pan (or line it with parchment paper).
- Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the broccoli, onion, greens, and salt. Toss to combine.
- Batter: In a blender, combine the flour, water, yogurt, salt, kala namak, turmeric, cayenne, pepper, and oil. Blend until smooth. (Alternatively, whisk the ingredients together in a large bowl until smooth.)
- Add the broccoli/veggie mixture to the batter. Add the cilantro, thyme, and dill and mix well. Pour the frittata mixture into the prepared pie pan and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. The top will crack and get golden. Spray or brush some oil on the top of the frittata while it is still hot. Let it sit for 10 minutes before serving. Store refrigerated for up to 3 days.

This turned out pretty well, but just so you know, when you change the serving size, it changes the cups but not the grams. I missed that when I made it the first time :).
thank you Anita
East Sunday breakfast that crams in lots of veggies. This is a go to for a quick throw it in the oven dish. I added Miyokos liquid mozzarella to the top for a cheeky treat.
oh! sounds great, liquid mozz, cool
Im excited to make this. Wondering what your recommendations would be for prepping a head of time. Would it be best to cook and then store or prep the batter and the veggies day before and then cook day of?
You can cook ahead of time reheat in the oven
I made the chickpea flour frittata this weekend and it was amazing!
It’s all gone.
was a hit!
EXCELLENT RECIPE, great for breakfast, lunch or dinner, great to have it ‘hanging around as it keeps in fridge for a week. I did not use salt in recipe, I prefer to add it when eaten. Did not use oil either. I used fat free yogurt. Different eaters in my home, everyone topped theirs differently on reheat (I added applesauce, my husband added Natto, others added cheddar, sour cream, bacon).
Best chickpea frittata recipe I’ve tried! I’ve tried quite a few and they are usually too dense for me. This was one was moist and delicious, not dense at all. Great Recipe!
great to hear , K
Delicious! We are used to chickpea flour. Even my kids thought it was great. Thanks!

Is chickpea flour same as bean? Or is it white chickpeas flour?
No they are not , see here differences https://fettabbau-trim.today/difference-between-besan-and-chickpea-flour/%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E
In this recipe you need chickpea flour. Besan will work too, use 2 tbsp more

I’ve tried this recipe many times, it’s a staple in our house since a very long time. it’s perfect as a snack and meal with some green chutney.
Can you tell me if it’s freezer friendly if made into crepes or pancakes?
Thanks
