How to Prepare Amiri Khaman: North Indian Chickpea Squares [Vegan, Gluten-Free]
- Wash the chana dal/split chickpeas and soak in cold water for 5-6 hours or overnight. Drain, add to a food processor or high-speed blender, and process the chana dal into a fine paste adding just enough water.
- In a non-stick pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium. heat. When hot, add mustard seeds and once they splutter, add asafoetida, followed by ginger, garlic, and turmeric. Fry for about 1 minute.
- Add the ground chickpea paste, salt, and sugar, then cook over medium-low heat until the mixture dries out and gets crumbly, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add 1/3 cup of non-dairy milk, mix well, and continue to cook, stirring constantly for 2-3 minutes. Repeat the process with the remaining milk.
- Add the lemon juice and stir until well-blended. Once the mixture leaves the sides of the pan, press it into a lightly greased 8-inch pan and sprinkle with coriander and coconut, pressing them down gently so that they stick to the chickpea mixture.
- Cool and cut into squares or diamonds and serve hot or cold. Serve with ketchup and/or sweet tamarind chutney.
