Gram Flour Flatbreads (Vegan, Wheat & Gluten Free)

Continuing my new obsession with gram flour, it was brought to my attention by a lovely person on Instagram that I haven't shared this recipe yet!

I don't even have a photo, because whenever I make these they get eaten far too quickly for Instagramming.

These are a satisfying and tasty flatbread that is the perfect accompaniment for curries and spicy foods. They also have a very slightly eggy flavour to them which makes them very good with tomato based curry.

These cook very much like a pancake, but are quite firm and cannot be rolled up to use as a wrap. They are better torn or cut into quarters and dipped into delicious sauces or chutneys.

This is another recipe that I have to credit to the amazing Ghazalla who was kind enough to teach me some of her traditional Persian and Indian recipes.

It's definitely one of my favourites because they are very filling, satisfying and make the perfect contract to a hot and spicy curry.

Makes 6

Ingredients

90z/255g Gram Flour
1/4 tsp salt
A few grinds of black pepper (optional)
400ml water
A tiny bit of oil for frying.

Method

Put the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. 

Add the water slowly, whisking constantly until there are no lumps. Bubbles will form on the surface, don't worry, this is normal.

Leave the mixture to stand for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This can be prepared hours in advance of cooking if necessary to save time.

Lightly oil a medium frying pan and place to warm up over a medium to hot hob.

When the frying pan has heated up, use a ladle or a measuring cup to spoon 1/6 of the mixture into the pan. I actually use two scoops of a 1/3 cup measuring cup for this and it's pretty much exact.

Leave for a couple of minutes to cook. You may start to see tiny holes appearing as the bread cooks through. Using a spatula, carefully turn the bread over and cook for another minute or two until firm and very slightly browned.

Place on a warmed plate and continue with the other five.

Best served immediately, but these can be stored in the fridge and warmed up the next day.
