Chickpea flour is my friend
When I saw the seitan patties over at the eat air blog. I knew I had to make them straight away. I had all of the ingredients except for the chickpea flour so I popped around to the Indian supermarket on Sydney Rd which is thankfully open past 5pm and got a packet of chickpea flour (besam flour) for $1.50.
Everything was going well until I dropped most of the gluten flour on the floor. So I used less than the recipe asked for and slightly more besam flour. I loved the idea of cooking them in a muffin tin. It meant nice almost perfect circles. Aren't they cute?
As for taste, they were yummy and tasted like a cross between a pakora and aian style gluten dishes. Here's a look of the texture inside:
My hand is wet not oily, I promise!
I can't wait to make these again with the right mixture of chickpea flour and gluten flour and to try Bratwurst-style variation.
But my question to you, what are the best chickpea flour recipes that don't involve deep frying?

Speaking of legumes (in addition to the chickpea flour there are white beans in these little things), Lucy at Nourish Me is hosting My Legume Love Affair which is created by Susan at Well Seasoned cook. So go and enter, if there is one things vegan know well it's legumes :-)
