Chickpea Flour

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday!

Has anyone ever made fresh pasta using Chickpea (otherwise known as Gram) Flour? If so how did it turn out?

I have 'acquired' a bag of it today and would like to have a go at making some pasta but don't want to waste it.

Any help appreciated!

    Never used it for this, have used it to make veggie pakoras which were fab.

    Only ever used it for onion bhajias (sp ?) but they're great - always keep gram flour in the cupboard for that alone ! In fact........... might go and slice some onions and make some with lunch ! :beer:

    Thanks for the replies. I think I will try it tomorrow 50/50 with plain flour and see how it comes out!

    I will also look up how to make onion bhajis as well!
