I am not sure if that is how you spell it! I saw the recipe in The Great Book of Couscous and they called it Karantika. This is popular in Algeria (and made in my house a few times per week). It is best served sliced with bread and a bit of harissa or on crackers. Baking time can be decreased to make a mushier version. A food processor is used to make sure you get a smooth combination of ingredients. Chick pea flour can be found in Indian Grocery Stores. It is called Besan . Ingredients:
2 cups chickpea flour |
4 cups water |
1/2 cup oil (not olive oil) |
1 tablespoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1 egg, beaten |
ground cumin, for sprinkling |
harissa (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, water, oil, salt and pepper in food processor until mixture is smooth.
2. Pour into glass or metal pan at least 6x10-inch.
3. Pour the beaten egg over.
4. Bake 375° for 1 hour or until top becomes golden.
5. Sprinkle with cumin.
6. Slice and serve on baguette with harissa or other hot sauce.
