This is the best breakfast recipe for those who look for vegan protein sources. It is gluten-free & egg-free and tastes similar to an egg omelette. Here’s how you can make it easier. First, mix 30 gms chickpea flour with 1 tbsp nutritional yeast and a little salt in a bowl. Next, add 2-4 tbsp of water to it and mix well until you get a smooth paste. Add more water for a smoother paste. Then, add 2-3 tbsp of finely chopped bell peppers, 2 tbsp mushrooms, and 1/2 sliced red onion along with herbs of your choice. Stir well all the ingredients and put a pan on medium flame with some butter or oil in it. Let the pan heat nicely and then add 1-2 ladles of this batter to the pan. Spread like an omelette and cook for 3-5 minutes. Once it looks cooked, turn it over and cook from the other side as well. Top up with your favourite cheese and enjoy this healthy protein-rich breakfast.
This vegan recipe is a boon for those who cannot eat paneer and other protein-rich sources. It’s made using just 4 ingredients and is super-delicious in taste. Put a frying pan on medium flame and heat some oil in it. When the oil is hot enough, add crumbled tofu to the pan along with 1/4 tsp salt & turmeric powder and 2 pinches of black pepper. Mix well using light strokes and then cook the tofu over medium flame for 5-7 minutes. Serve hot.
This is a delicious cheela that you can be made in a jiffy if the batter is ready and is more like a paneer-stuffed dosa. To make this cheela, soak 1 cup moong dal with 1/2 cup urad dal overnight or for 8 hours. Once soaked, grind the dals together with some 2-3 green chillies and 1-inch ginger. Make sure that the dal batter is smooth. Next, take a bowl and combine together 1 cup paneer, 1 finely chopped small onion & 1 tomato, 1 green chilli, salt to taste and 1/4 tsp chaat masala powder along with coriander leaves. Now, put a dosa tawa on medium flame and splash some water to clean it. Next, use a kitchen brush and apply it all over the pan and pour a ladle full of the batter and spread just like a dosa. Let it cook for a minute so that it gets crispy, then add 2-3 tbsp of the paneer mixture into it and fold the cheela like a dosa. Take it off the pan and enjoy with green chutney.
