I have an Idea for the leftover chickpeas, you don't have to discard those, just soak them in just enough water to soften them and make falafel with them. I think it's a great idea.
Like so Gemma can see this.

We use chick pea flour to make something we call tomato omelette which is basically flour, finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chillies and cilantro along with water and salt, not too thick not too thin. And then you cook it in a greased pan or a non greased non stick pan will also do, on a low flame. Its very healthy and delicious.

Hmm it would be lovely to watch you making something with that chickpea flour. ☺ I am Indian and it's called "besan" in Hindi. I love this flour and snacks made from it taste delicious. ☺☺☺💕

I have to try the chickpea flour, I myself find oat flour the easiest to make and use...I tried making my own rice flour and that went horribly wrong and tasted even worst lol. Someone else mentioned it and I also think it would be great to have a video that tells which flours work the best for different recipes for things like breads, cookies, muffins etc.

Almond flour is actually made from blanched almonds. It also requires double grinding. First you grind them in a food processor or a blender (meal) and then in a coffee grinder to obtain fine grit (flour). That way you don't have any leftover course meal and no sieving necessary.

Gemma we were also raised with the mentality not to waste any food. I love that you encourage not to waste as well❤️ love from Edmonton, Canada

2) soak cook season for stuffing
3) soak cook add in to make vegetables, soups

Thank you for sharing this. I am hoping to see more gluten free/vegan recipes.

Just a little tip for the chickpea flour:
Vegan scrambled "eggs" (I judt call it that because it really resembles that, but feel free to call it whatever you like).
Take some of the flour, the finer the better, and mix it with water to make a very liquid batter, it shouldn't be any thicker than pancake batter.
Season well with salt and whatever else you like, I like Indian style with chili, curry and some paprika. If you have it, add some black salt, also called Kala Namak. It has a sulfuric flavour which is very similar to actual eggs.
Heat up some oil in a pan and pour in the batter. Break it up a bit with a wooden spoon while cooking just like scrambled eggs. It does take longer to set up properly though. I like to add another splash of oil at the end to get crispy bits since the batter otherwise soaks up the oil from the beginning and gets a bit dry.

Serve anyway you like, in a whole grain pita, with loads of yoghurt, with a salad or however you like.
You can also sauté some veggies like mushrooms, onions etc first before adding the batter.
I have not had a craving for eggs since I didcovered this. It's so simple and yet very yummy.

You know Gemma, you can buy ready made chik pea flour from Indian grocery store. You left the skin on while grinding it. 'besan' is the word they use for it. Yellow gram or chikck peas are skinned and are split into two piece and then run through the mill. I don't know why but I think the skin may affect the quality of the flour.

I’ve been making almond milk but I soak the almonds overnight to take the husks off and then I use whatever bits that are left for flour but I spread it out and let it dry out in the oven and then let it cool and blend to a fine flour

[helstor]

You can also use a coffee grinder (burr grinder) instead of a blender. Gives a finer flour and no need to sift.

This is an invaluable video Gemma. My Grandmother needs Gluten free, so this is perfect. Thanks for sharing. Lee x

[alliemollie]

Oooh I gotta try making chickpea flour. Thx Gemma. ❤️

[sabrinatodd]

Thanks so much gemma I just found out yesterday that I was gluten intolerant and I finally found the explanation to my pimples, fatigue, depression, weight, feeling like throwing up.thanks gemma I can always count on you

[sarabegum]

Gemma thx for the recipe. You are truly a amazing chef as you not only show your recipes but also create videos for the beginners. So thx for that.

[sihamal]

Nice video, the almond flour that you made is actually almond meal which have denser texture then almond flour which is lighter, even when you cook with both you will notice the difference. Almond flour is blanched first then you remove the skin, let it dry then you blend.

[livturgeon]

hi gemma!! Your videos are so amazing! Although, I suffer from bad nut allergies. Could you please do a nut free dedicated video please? Thank you!💕

[mommyandmethings]

I have a food processor and nutribullet. I can't afford an expensive blender. I'm still going to try it. The chickpea flour sounds neat! Full of protein.
