Instructions
  1. Grease an 8- or 9-inch square pan, or line with parchment paper.
  2. Put the water, chickpea flour, 1 tablespoon oil and spices in a medium saucepan and whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture is very thick.
  3. Spread the chickpea batter into the pan evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  4. Refrigerate covered with foil or saran wrap for at least one hour or overnight until it is firm and solid.
  5. Remove from the refrigerator. Loosen the edges with a butter knife or thin spatula. Turn the dish over while keeping one hand on the chickpea block and carefully let the block land on a cutting board. Cut the block into fries. You should get at least 16 fries depending on the size you cut them.
  6. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet over medium high heat and cook the chickpea fries until they are browned and crispy on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined dish or cooling rack and sprinkle with Kosher salt. Serve with your favorite dip.
Recipe Notes

Serve as an appetizer, snack or with a salad.

You can experiment with many different flavors. You can replace the water with your preferred vegetable or beef/chicken broth, using only salt and pepper to taste.
