Ingredients
Nuggets
- 150 g chickpea flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 40 g all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 120 ml water
Breading
- 50 g white flour
- 90 ml soy milk or water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 100 g breadcrumbs or chickpea flour if you want to make gluten-free nuggets
- 2 tablespoon sesame seeds
Frying
- 500 ml vegetable oil
Instructions
- Make the nuggets. Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Add water to the bowl and mix with a fork until a dough begins to form. Knead the dough briefly, then set it aside.
- Dust a clean working surface with flour, roll out the dough to a 1 cm (⅖ inch) thick rectangle, cut the rectangle into 4 cm (1½' inches) wide strips, then cut the strips into 4 cm (1½ inches) squares. Round the corners of the nuggets to give them a shape similar to regular nuggets.
- In a bowl, mix flour, soy milk, salt and garlic powder until smooth. In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs and sesame seeds. Dip each nugget first in the batter, letting the excess drip off. Then coat the nuggets in the breadcrumb mixture and place them on a plate.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the nuggets and fry until golden. Drain the nuggets briefly on a sheet of kitchen paper, then serve immediately.
