Actually chickpea is a versatile ingredient and makes delicious savory snacks, lip-smacking curries, finger-licking desserts and sweets, and delectable cookies. You already know of besan nankhatai. Or for that matter besan cornflakes nankhatai, which got viral in my food group and across many other groups. I must say it has a unique flavor.

Those who have tried the besan nankhatai with cornflakes once have done it an umpteen number of times.


This time even I wanted to recreate the same, but due to power outage, I was not able to grind cornflakes, so dropped the idea of including them to the recipe. So this gave me a chickpea flour cookies vegan recipe that I am in love with. I have shared the vegan options as well. The gluten free cookie recipe is shared below.

Can we use the soaked water for millets? Does millet need to be soaked?

Do millets contain anti-nutrients? Yes, they do. In fact, all whole grains, including oats, contain phytates, which bind to minerals and make their absorption difficult for the body. Soaking is the first step toward reducing anti-nutrients from millets. Soak for at least 6-8 hours to make digestion easier. Discard the soaked water and then proceed to the next step of cooking. Remove foam from top to reduce gassy elements from millets.  How long should millet be soaked before cooking? Soaking the millets overnight is a safe practice. Soaking breaks down the phytic acid in millets or for that matter grains and nuts. Phytic acid hinders the absorption of minerals and nutrients in food, including calcium, iron, and zinc. How?
