About this product

TKM Foods – Chickpea Flour

Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour, besan, or garbanzo bean flour, is a fine, pale yellow flour made from ground dried chickpeas. It is commonly used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cuisines. There are two main types: flour made from raw chickpeas and flour made from roasted chickpeas, each offering a slightly different flavor and texture. It has a nutty, earthy flavor and a dense texture that lends itself well to both savory and sweet applications.

Chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free, protein-rich, and has strong binding properties, making it a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking.

Common Uses:

Cooking & Batter:

  • Fritters and Pancakes: Used as a base for batters in dishes like pakoras (vegetable fritters), socca (a French flatbread), and chilla (Indian savory pancakes).
  • Coatings: Commonly used as a crisp, flavorful coating for frying vegetables, tofu, or meat.

Baking:

  • Flatbreads and Savory Crêpes: Mixed with water or other flours to make thin flatbreads or wraps.
  • Gluten-Free Baking: Used alone or in combination with other flours to make breads, muffins, and crackers.

Thickening Agent:

  • Soups and Stews: Acts as a thickener in curries, gravies, and sauces due to its dense consistency.
  • Vegan Egg Substitute: Mixed with water, it forms a batter-like mixture often used to replace eggs in recipes like omelets, quiches, and pancakes.

Binding Agent:

  • Veggie Burgers and Patties: Helps hold ingredients together when making plant-based burger patties or meatballs.
  • Socca (Chickpea Flatbread): Combine chickpea flour, olive oil, water, and seasonings, then bake in a hot pan until golden and crispy on the edges. Serve as a side or appetizer.
  • Chilla (Savory Pancake): Mix chickpea flour with water, spices, and finely chopped vegetables. Cook on a skillet and serve with chutney or yogurt.
  • Pakoras: Create a thick batter with chickpea flour, spices, and water. Coat vegetables like onion, potato, or spinach and deep-fry until crispy.
  • Hummus-Inspired Crackers: Blend chickpea flour with olive oil, herbs, and water to form a dough. Roll out, cut into shapes, and bake until crisp.
  • Thickened Curry Base: Stir a tablespoon or two into sauces to naturally thicken and enrich the flavor.
