Preparation of Chickpea Flour Fritters
• Mix the chickpea flour with water using a hand whisk to avoid lumps.
Also add a very fine chop of fresh rosemary.
Pour this mixture into a saucepan and keep stirring over moderate heat.
• Slowly the mixture will thicken and tend to detach from the sides of the pan, much like choux pastry does before adding eggs!
Give it one last stir and season with salt and pepper.
Pour the mixture into a tray lightly greased with oil and let it cool completely.
• The mixture of chickpea flour fritters will thicken and you can cut it into diamonds, squares, or large pieces like I did!
Fry the chickpea flour fritters in hot seed oil and… Enjoy with the recipe of the fritters!
