  • 2 cups chickpea flour
  • 4 cups water
  • 2 tsp salt kosher (or to taste)

  4. Bring to a boil and continually stir mixture until thick to the consistency of cream of wheat.
  5. Spread on a well-oiled glass casserole dish or small parchment lined and oiled sheet pan.
  6. Cover with another sheet of oiled parchment and wrap with plastic wrap. Cool at least 4 hours
  7. Cut into manageable sizes and drop into 375 degree oil , cook until golden brown

  9. Best to make day ahead and fry fresh and serve immediately with a spiced up mayo.
