Chickpea Flour Crepes with Onion

Chickpea flour crepes are liked by people of every nation. Whether laced with herbs for the French flavors and pepped up with exotic spices to suit Indian taste buds, these chickpea flours are meant to impress. So, when I decided to make its Indian version for breakfast, the yummy contrast of crispy edges and soft center pleased everyone. I jazzed them up with a dash of chilies though made sure to serve with yogurt dip in order to tame down the heat slightly, especially for my kids. You may also throw in few chopped veggies to boost its nutritional profile.
