Ingredients for easy, healthy besan cookies: Baking with chickpea flour

1 cup=240 ml

Makes 16 cookies

1/2 cup minus 1 tbsp- besan/chickpea flour
1/2 cup- powdered poha (1 cup poha makes 1/2 cup powder)
2 tbsp- solid ghee/butter
2 tbsp- olive oil or butter/ghee
1/4 cup- or more organic jaggery powder (I like it less sweet)

1/4 tsp- black salt
1 tbsp thick curd or milk (I have added curd)

How to bake with chickpea flour: Besan Cookies Gluten Free

Whisk together oil, ghee, and sifted organic jaggery powder. Remove any jaggery grits. Else, these might ooze out of baked goodies, spoiling their looks/visual appeal. LOL .

Check my brief video on which jaggery powder is best for cookies and how to bake with organic jaggery.

Whisk for 2-3 minutes or more until it all looks pale and foamy.

Add salt and whisk again for a few seconds.

Add curd and whisk again for 1 minute.

Now it's time to stir in powdered poha. Mix with a spatula or hands.

DO NOT TRY TO KNEAD.

Then stir in besan or chickpea flour in small batches. Avoid adding the whole of it. You may be left with 1 tbsp of besan. Adding the whole 1/2 cup of besan might give you a different result.

Mix with a spatula and roll it out into a dough using a rolling pin on a greased or dusted surface.

Sprinkle sesame seeds as a layer on top.

Press gently with a rolling pin.

DO NOT APPLY FORCE PLEASE.

Make round balls with a bottle cap or cookie cutter.

Make cuts on the outline for design. You may want to keep it simple instead.

Decorate wth slivered pistachio in the center.

Bake or airfry in a preheated machine (preheat to 160 degrees for 5 minutes) for 12-16 minutes at 160 degrees. Might take a couple of minutes more or less, depending on your machine settings.

Allow the gluten-free besan cookies to cool down properly before starting to munch on crunchy bites.

I hope you like this recipe from my baking without baking powder/soda series. I am compiling some of these in my airfryer cookie recipes collection. You can bake these on a stovetop, in an otg, convection, or oven.

Happy Healthy Baking, friends!
Do not forget to try these cookies without baking powder, soda for chemical-free baking with organic ingredients.

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? Phytates bind to minerals and nutrients and make their absorption difficult in the gut. Your tummy finds it tough to digest millets in that case. So soaking millets and draining off that soaked water makes it easier on your tummy. Are millets safe for thyroid? Does
