Why This Recipe Works
Commonly compared to polenta, this traditional Shan State staple is made entirely from chickpea flour. It is incredibly versatile, behaving beautifully whether served silky and soft in a salad or deep-fried into crispy sticks.
Instructions
1
Whisk the flour and spices with 1 cup of water and let it rest for 10 minutes to hydrate.
2
Add the remaining water and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon until it thickens into a heavy, Play-Doh-like paste.
3
Pour the hot mixture into an oiled pan and flatten the top, then let it set at room temperature for 30 minutes until firm.
Storage: Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
