Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1.5 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 1 medium onion
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • ½ cup fresh herbs (mint, cilantro)

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together 1 cup rice flour, 1.5 cups water, 0.5 tsp turmeric, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Thinly slice 1 medium onion. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced onion to the skillet and cook until soft and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Pour in a ladleful of batter, tilting the pan to spread it thinly.

  4. 4

    Cook until the edges are golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 1-2 minutes until the other side is lightly browned.

  5. 5

    Serve the crepe hot, topped with fresh herbs. Fold or roll and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
