Ingredients
- 400 grams Chickpeas (canned)
- 120 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Coconut milk
- 3 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garlic powder, ground white pepper, and salt.
Step 3
Gradually add the coconut milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Step 4
Add the chopped scallions and the dried chickpeas into the batter, ensuring the chickpeas are well coated.
Step 5
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Step 6
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the chickpea batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook each portion for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Step 7
Remove the fried chickpea mendoan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the soy-free mendoan hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a crunchy snack on its own.
