Long hanging hair while cooking 😮
Crap…😫😫
Something new to try
The serving has about 12 g protein … which is low.
Looks delicious! I'll give it a go and add a friend egg, looking forward to trying this, thank you!
Plant based and a nice savory breakfast.. yay!! I would add Soy Greek Yogurt blended with basil, this would add about 4 more grams of protein. 😉
Thank you 😊
What about if you don't have an oven ? Only cooking rings …
Do all chickpea flour brands taste the same? I've tried in various recipes and dont enjoy the taste.
Not exactly quick for a busy household at breakfast time.
Also, the ingredients are not inexpensive – those on the vine tomatoes.
Come on guys. There's a huge need to suggest healthy eating to economically challenged families.
And what about the cost of electricity using the oven on high heat?
I ran out of chickpea flour but still wanted to try this so I ended up using quinoa flour. It was super tasty. Thanks for the great recipes!
This looks tasty, but I’d have to eat 300 calories of chickpea flour to get 20 grams of protein!
Rubbish
Thank you so much for this inspiring video! I really appreciate the deep dive into why protein and fiber matter at breakfast. Chef Nina Parker’s farinata recipe sounds delicious and healthy—can't wait to give it a try!
I can't believe an indian/punjabi boy is learning how to make gujarati "pudla" or punjabi "chilla" from a white woman!!!
Couldn't you have asked your mother/grandmother/aunt/sister to show people how to make it than give this "space" to white people who then make out they came up with this. It's the same with yoga, meditation, etc.
Stop being so bl**dy subservient to these white people and giving them the credit/limelight for what essentially Indian!
Im surprised the dr isn't familiar with gram flour being from Indian origin as it's a staple in all indian households, especially for making pakoreh and chilla's which is similar to the frinata.
Hi Rupy, why do you keep your garlic in the fridge?
