Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup water
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 0.25 cup almond milk
Directions
Step 1
Grease a square or rectangular pan with some coconut oil and set aside.
Step 2
In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-low heat, dry roast the chickpea flour (besan) until it turns a golden brown and releases a nutty aroma, stirring constantly to avoid burning. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Step 3
In a separate pan, combine the water, almond milk, and sugar. Heat until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture comes to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer until it reaches a single-thread consistency.
Step 4
While the sugar syrup is simmering, in another small pan, heat the coconut oil until it melts completely.
Step 5
Once the syrup reaches the desired consistency, gradually add the roasted chickpea flour to it, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
Step 6
Slowly pour the hot coconut oil into the mixture in a steady stream, keeping the stirring constant until the chickpea flour absorbs the oil and starts leaving the sides of the pan.
Step 7
Add the cardamom powder to the mixture and give it a good stir for even distribution.
Step 8
Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared greased pan. Flatten the surface with a spatula to even out the thickness.
Step 9
Let it cool for about 10-15 minutes before cutting it into desired shapes.
Step 10
Allow the cut pieces to cool completely before serving or storing them in an airtight container.
