The CookingBites recipe challenge: chickpeas (garbanzo beans)

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

This challenge finishes on 14th January and, unfortunately, there are no extensions, so let's get moving with the final offerings, folks!

Hopefully when I get home from the service centre (aka garage/mechanics) I'll have the ingredients to hand to write up the others.

Lemme see if I got time to make (my version of) bunny chow

Recipe - Coconut Gram Dal

I may be able to get this cooked tomorrow, but it is one I have made before. Serve it with rice.

Finally wrote up the epic Vegetable Biryani recipe

Writing it up coherently was a job

Writing it up coherently was a job

A work of art!
These days, I find writing almost anything coherently is a job.

 

[Z-Cook]

Nother one. Short. Sweet
Recipe - Aquafaba Meringues

 

[Morning Glory]

Its about an hour and twenty minutes until the deadline as I write. I am sorry I didn't enter more recipes as I had several more (5) ideas. I've not been 100% due to teeth issues.

But we have 16 recipes from 6 members. Excellent work folks!

A reminder that to easily see all the entries on one page (with links) you can click on the cookingbites recipe challenge tag.

Ok, that’s it for the Chickpea Challenge. It’s now karadekoolaid ’s turn to consider all the submissions and choose our Grand Garbanzo.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Thank you all for participating! Chickpeas definitely caught on over the New Year.
I'm going to take a long hard look at all the entries (which were highly creative) and I'll decide on a winner tomorrow.

17 entries in all - an excellent challenge. It started really slowly (Xmas and New year in the way) but then gathered speed.
Some absolutely amazing recipes, from the simplest to the most complex. Despite several internet interruptions here during the morning, I narrowed it down to 4 dishes:
Z-Cook with Besan gelato and aquafaba meringues;
SatNavSaysStraightOn with Coconut gram dal;
Barriehie with Chickpea patties and
Gone Hiking with Marry me chicken .
I'd quite happily have called it a tie, but there can only be one winner , so my vote goes to
SatNavSaysStraightOn with her Coconut gram dal! That recipe enshrines everything I love about Indian food.
Up to you , SNSSO, to choose the next challenge ingredient.
I'll be making all 4 of those dishes in the future. Well done everyone!
