Vegetable Tomato Omelette Recipe with step by step photos - An omelette without eggs ? how cool is it. This is quick and easy breakfast. This is one omelet which is amazingly soft, spongy, crispy and stays so even after some hours. This is vegan and gluten free tomato omlette recipe. Perfect monsoon snack with a cup of ginger tea or fresh salad. It's quick, instant and excellent snack for tiffin boxes with some tomato ketchup or coriander chutney. The tomato omelette makes for a good breakfast or brunch.
We called it besan ka cheela or besan ka pooda, my mom used to make for us during our childhood times, when we are not well, its good medicine for cold and cough(besan are always good ingredient for monsoon times) my mom didn't add tomatoes in it, this time I give a twist into cheela and used tomatoes in it and give another variation of omelet.
Recently I am associated with one and very talented bloggers group Shhhhh cooking secretly challenge, first where they decide the theme and then decided the partner who is give ingredient to their partner and vice-versa, very interesting idea.
This month my partner is very good blogger plus awesome baker - Mayuri Patel, she introduce me on that group and luckily she is my partner.
She give me two ingredients according to theme - #MonsoonSpecialSnack - the ingredients are Chana Dal (either used raw or used in powder form) and other one is Tomato.
So I used Besan Flour with Tomato, and present my dish for this month is "Tomato Omelette" which is made up with besan, ofcosre tomato and with twisted ingredients. I decided to make this because when you heard about monsoon people think about fried snack, but I choose something different which is not fully fried but ya it is shallow fried on a pan with little oil.
My monsoon snack is "Healthy bhi plus Tasty bhi" which is perfect for morning or evening snack or lunch or dinner meal. This is overall meal. This is my lunch menu with fresh fruit salad.
Can't wait to share my twisted recipe of besan ka cheela or omelet without eggs recipe.
