FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
Are thick chickpea flour noodles healthy?
While they provide plant-based protein and fiber, these noodles are calorie-dense and high in fat due to the frying process. They are best enjoyed in moderation as a savory snack rather than a health food.
How much protein is in thick chickpea flour noodles?
These noodles contain approximately 14g of protein per 100g. This is relatively high for a snack food, making them more satiating than many potato-based or corn-based alternatives.
Are these noodles vegan?
Most traditional recipes are vegan, consisting of chickpea flour, water, oil, and spices. However, you should always check the label for ingredients like ghee (clarified butter) or milk solids which are occasionally added for flavor.
What do thick chickpea flour noodles taste like?
They have a distinctively nutty, savory flavor from the roasted chickpea flour. They are usually seasoned with spices like carom seeds (ajwain), black pepper, or turmeric, giving them a warm, earthy taste with a crunchy texture.
How are these noodles typically eaten?
They are most commonly enjoyed as a standalone crunchy snack, often served with tea. They can also be used as a textured topping for salads, soups, or traditional Indian dishes like poha and chaat.
How do I know if the noodles have gone bad?
The most common sign of spoilage is a rancid or 'off' smell, which happens when the high oil content oxidizes. Additionally, if the noodles lose their crunch and become soft or chewy, they are no longer fresh.
