Besan Jeera au Kali Mirch ki Nankhatai / Chickpea Crackers with Cumin Seeds & Cracked Pepper (Vegan)

An egg substitute that I don’t see often but that has changed my life:

Chiickpea flour aka gram flour aka besan!! Available in small bags to bulk sizes at Indian grocery stores, also the brand bobs red mill sells it in bags that you might find at other American large chain or health food grocers.

2 Tbsp gram flour + 2 Tbsp warm water

mix well let sit for 1 min

Add 1Tbsp vegetable oil

Et voilà! Egg substitute. Good for baking and binding.

And if you need something that whoops up like egg whites, use chickpea water/aquafaba (the water from a can of chickpeas!)

From what I've gathered from my US friends, eggs have become hard to find and are super expensive. Likewise, it's been hard to get your hands on eggs over here too, and I've only been able to get imported ones thus far. This is of course pretty frustrating for someone who uses eggs in cooking frequently.

If you're struggling to afford eggs, and you live in areas where people keep chickens, your first point of call should be to chicken owners. You will be able to grab fresh eggs, generally at a cheaper price than supermarkets, and support local business too!

If you don't have access to this, you can also use plant substitutes in your cooking. This is particularly useful for vegans and those with egg allergies too. I found this table, which will hopefully help you out with using egg substitutes in your cooking. ~Tal
