[Sca-cooks] Pea Flour/Bread

[lilinah at earthlink.net]

Chick pea flour is readily accessible in any South Asian store that 
sells food stuffs. It is called "besan".

It is often used in batter for deep fried vegetables or samosas.

It can be used for making Panisse, little fried chickpea patties 
eaten in Provence during Lent, although cooked mashed chickpeas are 
probably better.

I was so disappointed when Chez Panisse opened - back when it was 
virtually unknown and you could just walk in a get a table and you 
didn't have to sell your first born to pay for a meal - and they 
didn't serve panisse...
