Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
4 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
Coarse salt
Cayenne pepper
Freshly ground white pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups chickpea flour

Steps:

  • Bring milk to a boil in a large saucepan with butter, salt, cayenne, and white pepper. Slowly add flour, whisking constantly and vigorously until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes.
  • Cover an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with plastic wrap. Pour mixture onto three quarters of the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator to chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • In a large, deep pot, heat 4 inches of oil until it reaches 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap, and cut dough crosswise into 3-inch strips. Cut strips crosswise into 1/2-inch fries. Transfer fries to heated oil, and fry in batches until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Repeat with remaining fries. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my fries turned out soggy. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love the idea of using chickpeas to make fries. It's a great way to add more protein and fiber to your diet.

These fries were a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I love that this recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional fries. The chickpea fries were still crispy and satisfying, but they were also packed with protein and fiber.

These chickpea fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with the recommended tahini sauce and it was the perfect complement.
