Method

Shallow fry the onions and potatoes for around 5 minutes, or until the potatoes begin to soften, remove from the oil and place aside in a bowl

Put chickpea flour in a bowl and slowly add cold water while mixing until you get a consistency similar to pancake batter, pour over the potatoes and onions, season with salt and pepper and mix well

Pour the mixture back into your reasonably well-oiled frying pan and cook over medium heat or until the edges and top begin to solidify

Here comes the fun part! Take a dinner plate, run it quickly under the tap to dampen it, place it over the top of your frying pan and tip then tip the pan upside down so that the tortilla ends up on your plate

Gently slide the tortilla back into the pan, sometimes it will need a little encouragement from a spoon or spatula as it won’t be firm, don’t worry, this is normal!

Cook for another few minutes, let cool and enjoy!
