Method
In a mixing bowl, whisk the chickpea flour, rice flour and kala namak with 220ml of water until smooth.
Stir the light soy sauce and white pepper into the batter.
Heat half the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Pour in the batter and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes until it starts to turn translucent at the edges.
Scatter the beansprouts and spring onions over the batter.
Drizzle the remaining oil around the edges and cook for 4 minutes until the base is deeply golden and lacy.
Carefully flip the omelette in sections and cook the other side for 4 minutes until crisp at the edges and firm throughout.
Slide onto a plate and serve at once.
