Did you know it takes 900,000 poppy seeds (give or take a few) to make a pound of them? Poppy seeds are nutty-flavored oil-seeds from the opium poppy plant that date back to ancient Egyptian times. These seeds are especially rich in oleic and linoleic acids, which help lower unhealthy cholesterol levels. They work nicely with the garbanzo flour (sometimes sold as besan flour, chickpea flour, and gram flour) which perfectly complements these flavorful bean creations. Garbanzo bean flour is a stand-out in terms of supply of protein and folate – well above that of wheat flour. Serve with a tamarind sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or a mint chutney.
