Leek & Besan (chickpea flour!) Fritters

November 29, 2018/ Melanie Hadida

Not quite latke, not quite bhaji, these little fritters tick ALL the boxes: Crispy, spicy, Vegan, Gluten Free, ready in under 20 minutes. They’re made with one of my fave ingredients: Besan! AKA gram flour, chickpea flour, farine de pois chiches. This savoury plant-based flour is perfect for gf baking, healthy fritters, and you can even use it to make a vegan brown butter! Is there anything it can’t do?
