Chickpea flour (also known as Gram flour - for those of you shopping for it) is a common ingredient in Indian cooking. Most famously it makes pakoras when it has a variety of vegetables like onions, broccoli, cauliflower and spices (curry powder, garam masala, etc) added to it and deep fried into weird shapes commonly available on Indian restaurant buffets.

The basic recipe for just about anything you could want to do with Gram is:

.25 teaspoon Baking Powder
2 tablespoons oil (cooking oil, olive oil, etc. depending on your flavor combinations)
1 teaspoon salt

1 cup Gram flour
