Ingredients
Vegetables
- 2 cups finely chopped broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, bell peppers (any color), or zucchini (or a combination)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 cup tightly packed finely chopped greens
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Batter
- 1 1/2 cups chickpea flour (garbanzo bean flour)
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup plain unsweetened or lightly sweetened yogurt or thick cashew cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 heaping teaspoon kala namak (Indian sulphur black salt)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 1 tablespoon organic safflower or other neutral oil
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro or parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
Topping
- 1 tomato sliced
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 top with the sliced tomato. 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.

Notes
To make chickpea flour pancakes, heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add a few drops oil and spread it all over the skillet. Spread a ladle of the prepared frittata mixture in the skillet in an even layer. Cook the pancakes for 4 to 6 minutes per side, or until they are speckled with golden-brown spots. Serve with condiments of your choice.
Variation: For richer vegetable flavor, heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the broccoli, onion, and salt and cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the greens and cook for 1 minute, or until they are just wilted.
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.
Chickpea flour frittata will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
