Easy Tasty Low Fat Chickpea Gravy Recipe

Gluten free vegan, for holiday or everyday recipes

12 - 14 Servings: Tasty, low fat vegan, vegetarian gravy, gluten free, great for dressing up vegetarian or vegan thanksgiving recipes or everyday meals without adding a lot more calories.

Chickpea gravy is delicious with all vegetarian holiday foods, like baked tofu, lentil loaf, mashed potatoes, stuffing - or to dress up everyday foods, including veggies and grains. We like it over Tofu Veggie Stir Fry, and often make it right in the pan with the veggies.

You can find chickpea or besan flour in the ethnic food section of grocery stores, or at an Indian food shop, or online. It's kind of an essential ingredient, but if you can't find it, use unbl. wh. flour or spelt flour. For a gluten free alternative, use almond, quinoa or amaranth flour.

If it's just a few of you, half the recipe, and save any extra for the holiday leftovers - an important part of the tradition!

Cooking Tip: Chickpea gravy will thicken up in cooking. Add more vegetable stock as needed, until it seems the right thickness.
