Ingredients:

– 2 cups chickpea flour
– 4 cups water
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Oil for frying

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, mix the chickpea flour, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.

2. Slowly whisk in the water, making sure there are no lumps. You should end up with a smooth batter.

3. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for a minute or two until fragrant.

4. Add the batter to the saucepan and whisk continuously for 6-8 minutes or until it thickens and forms a roux.

5. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the mixture onto a flat surface, such as a greased baking sheet or cutting board. Spread it out to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.

6. Let the mixture cool completely, then cut it into small squares or rectangles.

7. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough oil to shallow fry the panelle.

8. Once the oil is hot, add the panelle squares in batches and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

9. Remove the panelle from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

10. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot with a squeeze of lemon juice, parsley, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Tips for Making Perfect Panelle:

– Make sure the batter is smooth and free of lumps before cooking.
– Be patient while cooking the batter, whisking continuously to avoid lumps and ensure it thickens properly.
– Let the mixture cool completely before cutting and frying.
– Use a non-stick skillet or enough oil to prevent the panelle from sticking to the pan.
– Do not overcrowd the skillet, as this can lower the temperature of the oil and result in greasy panelle.
