  1. @blind_mapmaker The flour mix for the sourdough I make is usually about 1/3 whole wheat and 2/3 white. The loaf I baked today I did 2/3 white, 1/6 whole, and 1/6 chickpea flour. The loaf turned out well, with a nice springiness. It didn't taste markedly different, but one thing I noticed while doing the folding stage on this high-hydration dough is that it had the same fresh smell I get when sprouting chickpeas.

    A successful experiment!

  3. I got a lot of good ideas here and have now conducted my first experiment cooking with chickpea flour/besan: yellow squash fritter. I looked at a few different recipes online and then winged it, adding some salt, black pepper, garam masala, garlic powder, and turmeric to the mix of shredded squash, besan, and baking powder. I like how it all came together without needing a messy egg. And the smell of the batter was delicious even before cooking!

  5. This evening's meal: curried #jasmine #rice #patties , #vegetables and mashed #potatoes / sweet potatoes.

    The patties were leftovers from a rice #curry I cooked for yesterday's evening meal which had jasmine rice, chopped Sanitarium Foods Nutolene, chopped potatoes, chopped carrot, stock powder, Italian mixed herbs. This morning I noticed the curry was gluggy and binding together very well, so I thought I would try making patties from the leftovers. To make them all I had to do was form patties which were then covered lightly with #besan #flour , then #fried in a frypan.
