  2. Spray a 10-inch frying pan with pan spray.  Heat over medium heat.  Mix together chickpea flour, baking powder, nutmeg, dill, and thyme in a bowl until well blended.  Using a whisk, slowly whisk in the coconut water until a smooth batter forms.  Add batter to the frying pan and spread evenly across pan.  Cook for 6-8 minutes until the batter is cooked through and able to be removed with a spatula.  Add asparagus and red grapes on top of chickpea omelet.  Fold in half and remove from pan.
