Citric acid – for tartness which is required for Dakor na Gota

Note: it is important to not substitute the coarse/fine chickpea flour for the other as the ratio of the two is very important to achieve the correct texture

You can add the bicarbonate of soda into the mix now, or add when you are ready to start making the gota.

 

Method:



Crush the fennel seeds, coriander seeds, star anise, and black pepper in a pestle and mortar. We do not want to keep them whole but do not make a fine powder either.

In a big bowl take coarse chickpea flour (pic 1).

Add fine chickpea flour – besan (pic 2)

Add oil and rub the flour using your fingertips (pic 3-4-5)

Tip in the rest of the ingredients (pic 6)
