description
Made from ground chickpeas, chickpea powder has a slightly grainy texture compared to chickpea flour. When roasted, it has a nutty, earthy flavour and without any bitterness. It is used to thicken soups and it gives the distinctive taste to the Coconut noodles soup. Chickpea powder is also essential to Burmese salads as it helps to emulsify the salad dressing.
