Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil, for frying
4 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons milk
Coarse salt
Cayenne pepper
Freshly ground white pepper
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
2 1/4 cups chickpea flour

Steps:

  • Bring milk to a boil in a large saucepan with butter, salt, cayenne, and white pepper. Slowly add flour, whisking constantly and vigorously until the mixture begins to pull away from the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes.
  • Cover an 11-by-17-inch baking sheet with plastic wrap. Pour mixture onto three quarters of the prepared baking sheet, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Cover with plastic wrap, and transfer to refrigerator to chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • In a large, deep pot, heat 4 inches of oil until it reaches 350 degrees. Remove plastic wrap, and cut dough crosswise into 3-inch strips. Cut strips crosswise into 1/2-inch fries. Transfer fries to heated oil, and fry in batches until golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Repeat with remaining fries. Serve immediately.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my fries turned out really oily. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fries didn't come out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The fries were good, but the dipping sauce was amazing! I'll definitely be making that again.

These chickpea fries were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had used more oil.

These fries were delicious! I love the combination of chickpeas and spices. They're a great healthy alternative to traditional potato fries.

These chickpea fries were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce and everyone loved them.
