1 small red onion, very finely chopped
2 -inch piece of ginger, very finely chopped

Place chick pea flour in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 cup water and stir to make a smooth batter. Add the salt, cayenne, onion, ginger, chiles, garlic, and cilantro. Mix well and set aside for 15 minutes.

Place 1/2 t of oil in a large skillet (preferably non-stick) over medium heat. Stir once and place about 1/3 cup batter into center of skillet. Tilt pan to spread (as if making a crepe). Cover and cook for 3 minutes. Turn over and cook, uncovered, for one more minute; should be golden. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring before using
