Chickpea flour (gram flour)

Carrot patties with chickpea flour are a tender and aromatic dish that combines the sweetness of carrots with the nutty flavor of chickpea flour. These patties are popular in vegetarian and fasting cuisines and make a great option for a light dinner or side dish. Carrots, rich in vitamins and antioxidants, give the patties softness and natural sweetness, while chickpea flour adds density and a slight nutty note. Thanks to the breading and frying in vegetable oil, they acquire a crispy crust that contrasts with the tender center. They are served with sour cream or herbs and pair well with light salads and yogurt-based sauces. This dish is not only tasty but also healthy, filling the body with energy and comfort.

This recipe allows you to enjoy a harmony of textures and flavors, especially when paired with spicy sesame soy sauce. Pajeon can be served as an appetizer or main dish, perfectly complementing meals with other Korean delicacies.
