Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, chickpea flour, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.

  6. Repeat the process with the remaining batter to make more crepes.
  7. In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of oil and sauté the onions and green chilies until the onions turn translucent.
  8. Add the tomatoes and cook until soft.
  9. Season the mixture with salt, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
