On a similar theme, I like making chick pea chips. Gram flour/water boiled up with salt and a little turmeric, turn out onto a baking tray into a rectangle, cool in the fridge, cut into chunky chips. Fry in lots of hot oil till golden brown. They go in kind of rubbery and come out looking like chips. Serve with ketchup!

Discovered besan flour in Tescos a few weeks ago.
Fantastic stuff!
A very satisfying meal can be had by mixing 1 cup besan flour with 1 cup water, some salt, 5 teaspoons of olive oil, mix it up, microwave it 1 minute and stir, repeat until quite firm.
Try with fried onions and gravy plus any other bits you want. Nice with a chilli sauce too.
It has the consistency of firm mashed potatoes but very low GI, loads of good protein, lots of fibre and very tasty.
Anyone from southern Africa into sadza / mieliepap (maize-meal porridge staple food), this is a great alternative. Especially if you are diabetic.
