  • Heat the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; swirl to coat the pan. Pour in the chickpea mixture. Cook, undisturbed, until the top is covered in bubbles and looks dry, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  • If desired, spread toppings of choice over half of the omelet. Using a spatula, fold the omelet over the filling (or simply fold the omelet in half, if not using toppings). Cover the pan; let stand to steam for 5 minutes. Slide the omelet onto a plate to serve.

Tip

Kala namak, or black salt, helps add an eggy flavor to this dish while still keeping it vegan. You can buy kala namak from retailers like The Spice Lab, or substitute regular salt.
