Person Makes Tofu Using Chickpeas

Jukin Media

This person made tofu out of chickpeas. At first, they soaked the chickpeas in the water for some time before churning them into a thick batter using the blender. They strained the batter to remove excess water. Afterwards, they added baking powder to the batter and mixed it slowly to maintain its consistency. They poured the batter and left it to freeze before frying them in a pan.
