Yes, it could be the chickpea flour you made. I dont know how to make chickpea flour, I just buy it from the store and this recipe is perfect each time

I made my own besan flour and tried to make some “padus” by adding shredded zucchini, sliced tomatoes, little mozzarella cheese, little water, assorted spices and cooking like a crepe on an oilsed pan.
Problem is that they seem to be rather crumbly.
I tried adding some rice flour (which I also made) and got similar results.
I’m thinking that perhaps I didn’tmake the chickpea flour properly.

Yum. Photos and recipe. Was planning on trying chapatis with only gram flour but most recipes include atta so I am mighty glad that I could make crepes instead! Superb.

Love it. I guess this can be tried with any dosa batter.

Hi Dana! I used a 10 inch non-stick pan. For this sized pan, you will probably need to pour about 1/4 cup batter to make a thin crepe. I got the measuring cup for 99c at the thrift store

Fabulous Sala! I have some chickpea flour in my pantry from making socca a few years ago. I have heard that it makes great crepes. You make it look so easy and lovely (as usual)! Two questions. Did you use a crepe pan or a cast iron one? How big? And where did you get that adorable measuring cup? (I guess that is three questions.)
