Hi, Mary! I also love chickpeas. However, one thing is very important.: chickpea flour (besan) is made with raw chickpeas. My husband is an Ayurveda doctor. He told me it is important to cook the pancakes very well, until they are quite brown on both sides, because otherwise they might be difficult to digest.

OOh yeah! I made that 'butter 'chicken' for the first time on the weekend. Really tasty recipe. May be the best vegan curry I've had. As for the other recipes: so far a really high hit rate for a cookbook. I even went to an Indian market to pick up fenugreek leaves, but they didn't have any, just the seeds aplenty (I read that it's also called kasoori methi). Regardless, it was great even fenugreek deprived. Not even that difficult! Did I mention it was good?! :D
@pjammin002 жыл бұрын
You can buy - kasoori methi ( dried leaves packed) at an indian grocery store. Fresh methe come as fresh leaves. Two different things, closely related but different. Fresh can be cooked with potatoes but dry stuff is used a little at a time.

Love this book! Making a double batch of aloo palak/potato spinach curry for lunch. It's realllllly good :) & some dhal & rice on the side... then I'll have it again with salad & those delish besan pancakes for dinner... yaas. I've been thinking I should try the butter seitan... but I never had butter chicken before I was vegan. People seem to love that stuff! I've always ordered lentil dishes at Indian restaurants - #hippie? - especially dhal makhani - buttery! but I've ordered it sans butter/ghee for a long time. Unsure of whether I'll like butter seitan... I'm not much of a buttery person but if it comes out a bit like a Thai/Malay coconut curry I could be a convert... ?

I just tried the pancakes and they were such a fail. I don't know what I did wrong. They kept sticking to my non stick pan no matter how much I greased the pan. I even put a little oil in the batter like the recipe called for. And the batter was so thick it wouldn't cook through so I tried thinning it out with more water :(. I guess l try it again tomorrow...
@marystestkitchen6 жыл бұрын
The batter isn't very thick so perhaps double check the ingredient amounts. Also, I found that if you try to turn them too early, they stick. Try cooking them a bit longer and you can drip a bit of oil around the edges and that seems to help the edges pull away from the sides without you touching them. Good luck, dear

I then made her mango tofu off her blog and didn't really enjoy it but I think I could make it much nicer with more mango and a few small tweaks. I have made a few of her dishes over the years and usually really love them. Do you think it's worth buying her cookbook?
