In a blender, add all the ingredients listed except for ½ teaspoon pepper flakes under To add later, and then blend till the mixture is well blended into a smooth, thick mixture.
Add the red pepper flakes and mix in. Do not taste this mixture, chickpea flour tastes bitter when its raw.
Now there are 2 different ways you can make this. You can make this in the instant pot by pressure cooking or cook in a saucepan on stovetop.
For Instant pot/ pressure cooker: transfer this mixture to a parchment lined pan of choice. Add 3 cups of water to the inner pot. Cover the container/s with the batter with foil, place them in your long handle trivet and lower this trivet into your instant pot which has 3 cups of water. Close the lid and pressure cook for 30 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally, completely.
Then remove the glasses or pan from the instant pot and let them sit to cool completely, usually in the fridge for 1-3 hours.
If using a pan that isn't cylindrical, carefully take the hot soft gel-like mix out and shape it into a log using a parchment sheet. Roll it out and then put it in the fridge to chill.
Once the mixture is chilled, remove it from the cylindrical containers. Then slice using a knife.
For Stove Top: Once the batter is blended, put it in a pan on the stove top and cook over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble, keep stirring. The batter will start to thicken. Just keep stirring and cooking it until the mixture thickens evenly into a really thick custard.
After that, keep cooking until the chickpea flour does not smell raw. Let the mixture cool for a little bit until it’s not too hot to handle and then shape it to a log using parchment. Let it cool completely in the fridge and then slice.
Could also cook it flat like a flat bread and use cookie cutter to slice...
Or drop in little coin sized dollops in pan.
