Chickpea Flour

Chickpea Flour: A Versatile Flour from Dough to Frying

Chickpea Flour is a legume flour with a pale yellow color and fine texture, obtained by grinding dried chickpeas. It has a slightly sweet, earthy aroma reminiscent of chickpeas. When mixed with water, it easily forms a pourable batter; thanks to this quality, it is often used for frying coatings, flatbreads and savory cakes.

In the Tufan Organik pantry, chickpea flour is there for those who want to bring legumes into the kitchen in different forms. Since its raw taste is pronounced, it is recommended to cook it thoroughly before eating. Mixed with wheat flour, it adds a pleasant color and flavor to dough; used in small amounts, it also helps thicken soups and sauces.

Serving Suggestions

• Bake a batter made with water, olive oil and cumin in the oven as a thin chickpea flatbread.
• Coat onion rings and vegetable slices in chickpea flour batter and fry them until crispy.
• Use it in place of part of the flour in savory cookie dough for a different flavor.
