Besan Chilla Savory Chickpea Omelette

Indian flavors, weeknight effort. Chickpea flour meets onion in a 15-minute breakfast worth keeping in rotation. Each serving lands at 320 calories with 14g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Leftovers keep well, so it doubles as next-day lunch without any extra work.

• 1 Green chili
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
