Indian Chickpea Burgers

If you've read any of the previous posts about camping food in these parts, you'll notice that most of them contain some sort of tofu/TVP/peanut butter ingredient, so it might be obvious at this point that I don't eat meat. Though after years of practice, it's rather simple to work with while in the woods, and if I'm really being completely honest with myself, all I crave after a full day of hiking is a massive amount of carbs.Chickpea flour, or Gram/Besan flour, is a mainstay at home and is easy to pack into the backcountry as a source of protein. Here's a very easy recipe for Indian chickpea "burgers" to try instead of those god awful freeze-dried packs of "food." Man, I get the easy cleanup and preparation of those suckers, but they're all just so bad. So so bad. It's like eating McDonalds at your wedding. Sort of.Recipe after the jump...Ingredients:Chickpea FlourCurry PowderBaking PowderPita BreadTomato/Avocado (Make the burgers on your first night)While your pan is heating up, mix 1/3 cup of Chickpea flour, a pinch or two of baking powder, curry powder to taste (I mix these at home before I leave) and water for every person eating. The consistency should be a little thicker than pancake batter. (You can really add whatever spices/vegetables you want, they don't have to be "Indian.") Pour the batter into the pan, making a burger shape and cook until each side is a little brown and crispy. Take it off, put it on a pita and add some tomato, avocado and whatever other fixings your little heart desires. Nothing ever tasted worse with a little hot sauce on it.
