Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 whole Egg whites
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, salt, and baking powder.
Step 2
Add the egg whites and water to the dry ingredients. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and has a thin batter consistency.
Step 3
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter into the skillet. Immediately swirl the skillet to evenly distribute the batter into a thin, round tortilla.
Step 5
Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to lift, then carefully flip the tortilla with a spatula.
Step 6
Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from skillet and set aside on a plate.
Step 7
Repeat the process with the remaining batter, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
Step 8
Once all tortillas are cooked, allow them to cool before serving or storing in an airtight container.
