Roasted Chickpea Squares Recipe

Sweet, Spiced Squares Made From Roasted Chickpeas

In a blender, grind to a powder:

1 cup roasted dry chickpeas

In a small saucepan, make a sugar syrup by combining:

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

Simmer until you reach the "thread stage" (226 degrees on a candy thermometer).

Working quickly, immediately take off the heat, add, and mix well:

the powdered roasted chickpeas

1 teaspoon cardamom powder

Add quickly and mix well:

1 TBS ghee

Quickly and firmly press the mixture into a 7" circle about 1/4" thick on a greased, flat pan,. Sprinkle with:

1 TBS white Indian poppy seeds*

1 TBS unsweetened coconut

Let cool; cut into 1 1/2" diamonds and serve. Sometimes this comes out crumbly, but it will still taste delicious.

*Can be omitted - do not substitute black poppy seeds.
