Onion Rings
1 cup chickpea flour
1/2 teaspoon coriander (optional)
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
2 cloves garlic minced
3/4 cup water
1 large onion sliced
coconut oil for frying
Mix together the dry ingredients, add water. Feel free to add more water or flour if you don't think it's the right consistency. It should be thicker then pancake batter but still batter like! ;) Separate the onion into individual rings, dip in the batter coat well and fry in already heated coconut oil. Put on plate with paper towel to cool.

Notes: I ground my own dry garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) in my Wonder Mill I had to put them in slowly but it worked great. Be sure to read your instruction manual on your grinder before trying this. Most mills should be able to grind dry beans and I'm sure a hand grinder would work as well. Also I think frying other veggies in this batter would be really tasty and a great way to get your picky eaters to eat more veggies. I bet broccoli, cauliflower, round sweet potato, zucchini, and carrot slices would all be good! Enjoy!

Oh, no you didn't...Oh, YES you did!
Those are gonna be good!!
Thanks Tam!
Yummy ! I wish you guys lived closer for more reasons than one. Who would have thought chickpea flour? Sure looks tasty. Love Mom
Wow Tammie - you are so my hero! Maybe this will be a way to connect with my fried-food lovin' inlaws :) You're amazing!
Yummy! We just made these. Why do we use Chickpea flour? Do other flours not work as well, or is it because of the health benefits of the chick peas?
I have tried using whole wheat flour and it just fell off the onion and made a mess of the oil. Chickpea is what your Indian food places use on their fried vegetables so I thought I would give it a try!
I was recommended coconut oil a while ago and just recently tried it. I love it! It's great to cook with.
If you like green bean casserole (healthy syle cream of something soup etc.) I'm sure these would be wonderful as a durkee onion substitute too!
How about frying things in EVOO? Is that much different than coconut oil, or does it change when heated like other oils?
Rorie: Ok still learning the "texting lingo" I had to look up EVOO. ;) Although Extra Virgin Olive Oil is very good for you. It is not as heat stable as Coconut oil! So no it's not as good for you if you fry with it.
Chickpea flour can also be used to make excellent french toast, ala Vegan with a Vengence.
Is it ok to use himalayan crystal salt in place of sea salt? Silly question, im sure:P
thanks!
homebirthmomma: Yep in fact it's probably better! I really like both the Real Salt is a little less money is why I typically use it.
