Chickpea flour kofta is a flavorful dish often found in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Made primarily from chickpea flour, a protein-rich and gluten-free alternative to wheat, these koftas are typically combined with aromatic spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and chili. The mixture is often shaped into balls or patties and either fried or simmered in a tangy tomato-based sauce. Chickpea flour provides beneficial nutrients such as fiber, iron, and B vitamins, making these koftas a hearty, plant-based option for meals. When baked or lightly pan-fried, they can be a healthier alternative to traditional meat-based koftas, as they're lower in saturated fats. However, opting for deep frying can increase calorie and fat content, making portion control important. Often paired with rice, naan, or fresh salads, chickpea flour koftas are a satisfying and nutrient-dense addition to vegetarian and gluten-free diets.
