Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Chickpeas (canned)
- 120 grams Rice flour
- 50 grams Tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 250 milliliters Coconut milk
- 3 stalks Scallions, chopped
- 500 milliliters Cooking oil (for frying)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly under cold water, then pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, tapioca flour, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garlic powder, ground white pepper, and salt.
Gradually add the coconut milk to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
Add the chopped scallions and the dried chickpeas into the batter, ensuring the chickpeas are well coated.
In a deep frying pan or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Carefully drop spoonfuls of the chickpea batter into the hot oil, frying in batches. Cook each portion for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crisp.
Remove the fried chickpea mendoan with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the soy-free mendoan hot with your favorite dipping sauce or as a crunchy snack on its own.
