Servings: persons

1 1/4 cups filtered water lukewarm
2 tablespoons safflower oil or grape seed or olive oil plus more for cooking
1 cup besan or chickpea flour
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon yellow curry powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon kala namak Indian black salt, optional
1/2 cup cilantro leaves firmly packed fresh

1
Pour the water and oil into your KitchenAidA(R) Power PlusA(R) blender container, and then add the flour and the dry ingredients, except the cilantro. Process on variable speed 3 for about 5 seconds just until the mixture is combined with no lumps. (You donaTMt want to over process.) Add the cilantro leaves, and process on variable speed 3 for about 3 seconds just until the cilantro leaves are roughly chopped, but not fully blended.
2
Transfer the batter to a jug, and let the batter sit for 10 to 15 minutes to thicken slightly.
3
Using a paper towel, very lightly coat an 8-inch (20cm) nonstick crepe pan or frying pan with about 1/2 teaspoon of oil. Heat the pan over low to medium-low heat, depending on your stove. Lift the pan off the heat and pour in a scant 1a3 cup (75ml) of the batter, quickly swirling the pan to allow the mixture to evenly coat the bottom of the pan. (I swirl the batter twice over the edges so that they donaTMt get too thin and crispy.) Return the pan to the heat and cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until bubbles form on the top and the sides lift easily from the pan. Gently flip the crepe with a spatula and cook for about 1 minute more, until lightly browned. Transfer the crepe to a plate. Repeat this process with the remaining batter, lightly greasing the pan with paper towel between each crepe. Stack the finished crepes on top of each other so that they soften and remain pliable.

Serve with chutneys, dips, or stuffed with vegetables.
