Description
Delicious chickpea flour truffles, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/4 cup water (or as needed)
- 1/4 cup ghee (clarified butter) or vegetable oil (Halal-friendly alternatives can be used)
- 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (pistachios or almonds for garnishing)
- a pinch salt
Instructions
- In a pan over medium heat, add the chickpea flour. Stir constantly to avoid burning. Roast until it’s golden brown and emits a nutty aroma (around 5-7 minutes).
- In a bowl, combine the sugar and cardamom powder. Set aside.
- Once the chickpea flour is roasted, add the ghee (or oil) and stir it in until it combines. Gradually pour in the water until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough-like consistency. Adjust water as necessary.
- Once the mixture has cooled slightly, take small portions and roll them into tiny balls or truffle shapes.
- Roll the truffles in the chopped nuts for a delightful crunch.
- Enjoy them warm, or let them cool completely before storing.
Notes
- These truffles can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
