Ingredients
- 1 cup besan (gram flour)
- ½ cup oats flour
- 1 small tomato, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
- 2 green chilies, finely chopped
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon black salt
- Salt to taste
- Water, as required
- Oil or butter for cooking
Method
Step 1: Prepare the Batter
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour – 1 cup and oats flour – 1/2 cup.
- Add the chopped tomato – 1 small, coriander leaves – 2 tbsp, and green chilies – 2. Now add the turmeric powder 1/4 tsp, baking powder – 1/4 tsp, black salt – 1/4 tsp, and regular salt.
- Gradually pour in water while whisking continuously until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. The consistency should be slightly thinner than pancake batter so that it spreads easily on the pan.
- Whisk the batter well for 2–3 minutes to incorporate air, which helps create a soft and fluffy texture.
- Let the batter rest for about 5 minutes. This allows the oats flour to absorb the moisture and results in a better texture.
Step 2: Cook the Eggless Omelette
- Heat a non-stick tawa or frying pan over medium heat.
- Lightly grease it with oil or butter.
- Pour a ladleful of batter onto the pan and gently spread it into a medium-thick circle using the back of the ladle. Avoid spreading it too thin, as a slightly thicker omelette stays soft and fluffy.
- Cook over medium heat until the bottom becomes golden brown and the top starts to dry.
- Carefully flip the omelette using a spatula and cook the other side until lightly golden with crisp edges.
- Repeat the same process with the remaining batter.
- This recipe makes approximately 2 large eggless omelettes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this recipe without oats flour?
Yes. You can replace the oats flour with additional gram flour, although oats add extra fiber and make the omelette softer.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
Yes. If you use certified gluten-free oats, this recipe is naturally gluten-free.
Can I prepare the batter in advance?
Yes. You can refrigerate the batter for up to 12 hours. Stir it well before cooking, as the oats may absorb some of the water.
Why is my omelette breaking?
This usually happens if the batter is too thin or if you flip it before the top has set. Cook it until the surface is almost dry before turning it over.
