These recipes use chickpea flour to create a dish that is healthy and delicious. Also known as garbanzo bean flour, chickpea flour is made by grinding dried chickpeas into a powder. Chickpea flour is high in protein and fiber and is useful for binding ingredients. Recipes like Chickpea Dumplings in Curried Tomato Sauce or Noodle Salad with Tofu are tasty, filling and a great introduction to a new alternative flour.

Cashew Butter Chicken Masala

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Butter or even heavy cream usually gives butter chicken its rich, satisfying quality. In this healthy version of a butter chicken recipe, cashew butter creates an equally luxurious texture. Chickpea flour thickens the sauce, but is optional if you don't have it on hand. For weeknight speed, marinate the chicken ahead of time and you can have this dish on the table in about 30 minutes. Serve with steamed spinach and basmati rice.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, September/October 2016

Burmese Chicken Salad

Swapping out mayonnaise in favor of lime juice and shallots is a simple change, but its impact gives this healthy chicken salad recipe a light, fresh feel. For more color, try swapping in a bit of red cabbage for the green.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2018

Ginger Salad

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Ginger salad is nearly as popular as tea-leaf salad in Myanmar and is just as crunchy. This version uses purchased pickled ginger; i.e., the same ginger on your sushi tray. This healthy salad recipe also has the nontraditional addition of romaine lettuce, which gives it a lighter bite.Ā Source: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2018
