LENTIL BREAD Recipe 🤩🍞 Gluten Free, Flourless Alternative + Savory Lentil Cake with Cheese and Herbs
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 02. 2022
- For years, like most people, I believed that bread should be made with wheat. But it is possible to make bread with almost any seed. Lentils are a good example of that. Today I want to show you how easy it is to turn lentils into a gluten free bread and also want to take this lentil bread to the next level by turning it into a magnificent savoury lentil cake.

You could make this vegan by using flaxseed ‚egg‘. 1 tbsp of ground flaxseed to 3 tbsp of water = 1 egg. Allow to sit for a half hour.
I make zucchini fritters with soaked and blended red lentils instead of flour all the time! Lentils are magical.
You said just what I needed to hear: "You can use any kind of lentils." It looked like you even had some yellow split peas in your display. Many ingredients are more versatile than we give them credit for. Thank you for this enjoyable information.
Now I'm ready for this, in my African version ,for anyway I have been making sourdough gluten free bread. SO SPECIALLY THE 2ND ONE CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT.
What is the African way? 📝
Ok ,I'm have been making both lentils into bread.Soak #1 8hrs to 12hrs then pour out ,#2 to prepare for sprouting once it starts ,#3 now to ferment with sea salt in the oven overnight till it make some bulb,low types if boil then I make the past with it,then season of choice ,oil ,I can add chia ,and coconut flour coconut milk baking powder 1 lime squeeze, 1 tsp of sweetener ,baking powder or if I want another gluten free flour ,in west Africa we do black eyed peas with millet flour with some wheat flour to make it consistent, so I make my own turn in it doing gluten free sourdough. Then I bake ,put the dough or mixture in the baking pan then that is my twist of the lentil bread.
This bread turned out amazingly well. Refika’s directions are so on point . The bread is as done at 355 degrees Fahrenheit in exactly 35 minutes to the second:) impressive Rafika - I used fenugreek leaves, garlic, red chillier pepper and spring onions. Amazing flavors. What I love about this recipe is that it is so versatile and can be globally modified to suit the regional tastes of people anywhere in the world. This is will be a staple healthy recipe that I will using and experimenting with different flavors! Thank you Rafika and your team .
Yes, it is very much like a cornbread. This is the most unique version I’ve seen. I think it can become vegan either with egg replacer, or like flaxseed based binder.
After watching this video numerous times (you all are so fun and great to hear both on and off camera!) I made it as a vegan version! Using 10 tbsp of aqua faba and coconut yogurt. It came out super yummy and absolutely tastes like bread, not cake. Thank you very much for this recipe!
Did you use the same amount of lentils and just left out the cheese? Would love to try to make a vegan version of this too :)
thanks for your comment!💖 I just posted a question asking what I could use instead of eggs and yogurt! then read your comment😁
Please make more gluten free foods, especially flat breads. Thank you so much, beautiful!
You’re the best given your personality that reflect the beauty and love that’s in your heart!
This is amazing, and so versatile. You can put olives, sun dried tomatoes, capers, garlic, truly anything! Thanks for sharing this recipe
Nice additions , I'm looking 4 adding more herbs in2 my diet .ie Herby bread ?
Pineapple & Rosemary is a nice combo 4 a juice or Sugar free dessert of sone kind.. x❤x
My son is gluten-free and I am always looking for new bread recipes to try. Thank you Refika.
Thank you Refika, you gave me soooo many ideas to introduce vegan/vegetarian dishes to my family, you truly inspired me. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thanks god there is also one small Turkish shop with many spices, ingredients etc. in my town, so I can get my supply. Much love!!!
This is a fantastic idea. Thank you dear Refika, Burak and Bahar for lifting up my day in this hard time of war, although it's happening war. It is felt it's happening over here in Italy.
My heart goes out for to Ukrailnians.
May God give us wisdom and empathy.
Take care. Çok sağol 😘😘
Refika I love you I used coconut yogurt in the recipe, I'm dairy free bread came out just like yours. You're a super lady...thanks
Omg this recipe is God sent!! Cheaper than almond and coconuts flour and more available!! Thaaaaank you 😍
Thank you so much. I have been looking for an alternative to wheat for ages. Made this today, amazing, simply delicious. So healthy, no more wheat bread for me and my hubby. The best part is that it is so easy to make.
Yes, I love this recipe, if you make a thin layer and cook it that way it makes a great cracker too
thanx,i will make d cracker
Im a diabetic, I cannot eat bread but can eat lentils.. this would be a dream come true for me.. ❤❤❤
I have made red lentils flatbread using lentils, water and salt, but I have never seen a fluffy bread like this using the red lentils! I can't wait to try it 😊 I was diagnosed with Celiac's 15 years ago, and while nothing will compare to wheat/gluten bread, it's nice to have these beautiful alternatives. Thank you ❤
I made the lentil bread today and I'm absolutely thrilled with the result. I will be making this bread every day I love ❤️ love ❤️ this bread I'm gluten free. Thank you for sharing.
I would gladly wait overtime to try anything you make, Refika!
I made the bread myself, and.... IT IS DELICIOUS! Thank you so much.
After some experimentation, today I made a vegan version of your plain lentil bread. I used 2 cups of red lentils, 1 cup coconut milk, 3 flax eggs, 1/4 cup apple sauce, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt and 1.2 teaspoons olive oil. Baked for one hour at 355 degrees F. This is from a fan in Gainesville, Florida, USA. Thank you for your recipes.
Thank you 🎉
Well done you! Sounds good
🎉🎉🎉
I love every single recipe you show us. some are too complicated for me but most are so simple even I cant wait to make them. Non gluten Lentil bread? Who knew. I cant wait to make this, especially the version with cheese and onions and olives🤩YUM!!! Thank you for showing us the food of your country.
Hi, I made my bread I don't have yogurt but it came out good for me it had the texture of regular bread. Thank you. From Bermuda 🇧🇲
Soaking more lentil today love this bread.
OMG!!! I made your lentil cake. I did not have yoghurt as I am dairy fee, so I made some sunflower seed cream a little ACV....and also I used our Portuguese sheep cheese diced. It is heavenly!!! Only half recipe for me, a single person made a huge cake nontheless! You guys sure know how to make DELICIOUS food! Thanks so much...💕
how do you make sunflower seed cream? would flax seed work the same?
Thanks I was looking for a dairy free alternative. I was wondering if that’s the same thing as tahini?
Use Portuguese sheep cheese? So you’re not dairy free?
But goat cheese is dairy, no? 🤔
Very good recipe- just tried it and it’s yummy.
I'm definitely making this bread. The version with the cheese looks especially delicious.
I made this today! I was going to comment that I felt like there was something missing in the savory version, and thought I might try some caramelized onion in the next batch I make. But I looked at the recipe again and realized I left out the 4 sprigs of green onion😅. Now realizing that, I think my next batch will have the green onions, a little caramelized onion on top with the seeds, and another half teaspoon of salt.
Thank you so much Refika and team!
It's now later in the day, and I made some caramelized onions to have with the bread (that I forgot to add the spring onions to). It's VERY good this way! I'll definitely do both spring onion in the bread and top with caramelized onions before baking the next time I make it.
Thank you so much for this! It looks wonderful, especially the savory version. It always hurts my heart when an otherwise lovely recipe contains gluten flour. This has been a gift!
We just made this (the version with the herbs + feta cheese) and it was SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD! Thank you so much for sharing this. My boyfriend is allergic to corn and was elated to eat something that actually tastes like cornbread. You are a genius, and this is a recipe that I will be using for years to come! With love and gratitude from Canada.
Diane Thompson, check to see if it is just G M O corn that wrecks him. I tried white corn, now many of us find white corn is fine because no GM O. Yellow that says no GM O does make me sick, as does dairy from cows that eat yellow corn. Organic dairy is fine. Eggs from organic fed chickens fine, corn fed not, etc.
@@charlanpennington3989 thanks for the kind suggestion. Unfortunately his allergy is global to all corn + corn products. So yay for lentil bread!
Thank you that answers my questions gooooooood mean yesss for me 😊
Looks so tasty))❤
( random comment. If someone had written this message to me, it would’ve made my year.)
So much warmth and hospitality oozes out of every video. Thanks for spreading the joy team Refika.
yes,sooo much warmth,friendliness,hospitality in Refika nd team.i very much like them
Thanks I’m watching for Guyana 🇬🇾
This is the best gluten free quick bread I have found and tried. Made it last night with dried figs, thyme and vegan cheese. I don't regularly eat dairy, so I used tofu in place of yogurt. My bread didn't grow as tall (maybe the baking powder has lower strength?), nevertheless it had a wonderful texture and flavor. I can think of many combinations: walnuts/ figs, rosemary olives, etc. This is now my go-to recipe for the daily bread 😋
Excellent modifications! Thank you!
I use coconut/almond yogurt! So yummy!
Dear Refika! I made the cake/bread today, I woke up very early, because we have heat waves here, and I didn't want to use the oven during the high temperature. We love it! I am already thinking, what do I use next time, maybe basil, dry tomato, cheddar cheese or feta :) I know this is a bit older video, but I wanted to tell you, I love your show! Work together with good friends must be amazing!
Oh my goodness! These gluten free breads are less complicated than other gluten free bread recipes. Thank you so much. I’m going to try this soon! 💜🌸💜
Exactly my thought too.
To think it's even healthier.
I am game.
رائعة أنصحكم بعملها لا أثر ولا ريحة للعدس لذيذة بمننى الكلمة
That is the most unusual and delishous looking thing I've seen for awhile. Thank you for sharing!
This is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Make a batch and you have a week worth of meal. ❤️
Wow! This must be a protein-packed bread. What a nice alternative ❤️👏🏼💪🏼
Lentils have carbs too. Also lentils should always be paired with some cereals. That combination is better for digestion.
Usually when people want to make a gluten free bread it's because they have gluten sensitivity or celiac disease so pairing lentils with cereal is kinda defeating the purpose. Soaking and draining before putting into the processor already helps with digestion and adding certain herbs ie cumin takes care of the bloating for people whose bellies are not used to plant-based diet's amount of lentils, beans etc. As a side note I thought I was always bloated because of legumes consumption but turns out I'm extremely sensitive to gluten and my problem disappeared after changing wheat pasta to rice/millet/potatoes. Not eating gluten also made my acne disappear - I've had it my whole life🙃
@@tayatoyaify thanks for the cumin tip! I love beans but it makes me bloaty and gassy lol
@@Kathakathan11yes but they are low GI carbs
@@clearquartz6482 yes
OK! Up until I came to Turkey I had never tried lentils, considering them to be the fodder of tree hugging pot smoking vegetarian's. I was raised in the 60's/70's and that was the staple fare of this particular group of people.
Wind forward to spring of 2021, I discovered your channel and the lentil soup. My wife asked me to make it for her and that's it, she and I absolutely love it, so quick so tasty so filling. Now this week March 1st I tried this lentil bread, just the plain one, yet again my wife loved it, I was OK about it. Then I put in Turkish feta and onion, omgfg so nice I ate most of it this morning.
Lentils on so when I came back they were ready to bake more. This time I added Chilli flakes and remembered to put the seed topping on before I baked it. It is probably the best thing that I've made, I've been cooking everyday, one way and another, for 45 years, this recipe is sublime. I will be sending you the cost for new clothes, I'm going to bloat up tremendously, being unable to say no to not one but several slices at a time.
Absolutely well done on this recipe, I've passed it on to many friends who are eager to try it. Lentil salad is next on the list. Oh look a tree, lets go hug it. Where's my bongos and spliff. 🤣🤣🤣
Gosh 😂have you never had a side of dal in an Indian restaurant? You don’t know what you missed your entire life. Give it go. Unless you hate spicy food 😅
Thank you Fefika from Cape Town South Africa 💐🌹
Waaaw! Refika!! Thank you for this Recipe👏👏👏🤗Iam great full to you for Introducing US this Healthy and glootin free Recipe. Since I am watching your fantastic video's I also known that your country IS very Beautiful!! and Recently' we went to Sri Lanka' with Turkish airlines, whay we have Choose that airline?
Because of THE BEST CHEF IN THE WORLD' RAFIKA😁👏👏.The most BEAUTIFUL and BIGGER AIRPORT! Amazing, MY husband Promised me that ONE day we will visit this beautiful country. Thank you Refika and the team. GOD BLESS YOU ALL💐💐❤🇪🇸😍
I'm glad you compared the bread version to cornbread - I love cornbread cooked in a cast iron skillet! But that savory cake looks even more delicious :)
I just made the Lentil bread 1/2 recipe and it is delicious. Thank you.....oh so yummy, so easy. Canada Next time out of curiosity I will substitute chia seeds for eggs.
Hi from Ukraine!!! i will definitely try both of those, cant eat wheat flour too much lately....thank you!!!
Use flax seeds as egg replacement for vegan version - many recipes online, including for lentil seed bread. You can also make vegan yoghurt.
These breads look absolutely delicious, and I must make them! I never thought about using lentils for bread. I have a sister who is very allergic to wheat and is always searching for nontraditional bread. I'm going to make this for her.
I also love halumi and will be making the savory cake, too.
Thank you so much for including the recipes in the description box.
Be well, and God bless!
I've socked my lentil am going to make it in the morning inn shaa Allah n thanks for this wonderful recipe
Lentils are so healthy! What a wonderful idea. I’ve experimented with savory additions to cornbread and loved it, so I know I would love this!
I made this tonight, it was wonderful! I wish I could share a photo of it!
I just made this using a mix of 3 lentils and it came out delicious! I also added come shredded zucchini in the batter along with lots of fresh herbs. It reminded me of firinda kabak mucver with lentils. My mother makes a very similar Indian bread called handvoo and it was a favorite growing up. Wonderful easy recipe! Thank you.
eno as in stomach medication with lemon ? lol
Kavita, are you a gujrati?
I have lived in Gujarat for years, so I know about handvo... 😊
Very similar...
@@lisetteem3054 eno is a baking soda powder for digestion/ gastric issues in India. Many use it in baking as well
@@helloworld-zc1bx yeah it used to be sold here.. didnt know ppl would cook with it..maybe its just citric acid and baking soda>?
How long can I store it in the fridge without spoiling
I so enjoy watching your videos. I dream of visiting Istanbul from the US one day. I always appreciate when you include vegan recipes, so if you could modify this one it would be wonderful!
Thank you my grandma made something similar. A great healthy high protein bread subsitute for keto.
For some time now I am following a low carb diet and this lentil bread comes at the right moment. Thank you for all your recipes, dear team!
Lentils are still high in carbohydrates dear
@@ripangill7606 Thank you for your answer! Be blessed.
Merhaba Rafika! I made the bread cake this morning and you are absolutely right, it is very surprising and magical! It was difficult to resist but we were good and did wait until it was cool. Thank you so much for sharing your precious recipes 🙏
Watching you brings me so much joy! Thank you for making recipes simple and approachable. Love those vegetarian options as well YUM!
This is awesome. I’m celiac and my 93 yo Italian mil has diabetes 2, brilliant ♥️ thank you 🙏
I would never have thought of making bread with lentils! But seeing you make it and thiking about how good lentils are I love the idea. I make soup fairly often and I can imagine this being a lovely accompaniment so I'll give it a try soon.
I made my second batch of pomegranate sour this week so this will be my next food project 😄 Happy days!
I actually learned this recipe (the salted cake) on Refika' turkish channel, and I make it regularly. Fantastic!
I did the same but lost the translation and it haunted me for so long but I don’t have to worry abt that anymore!
@Kattrap I imagine would go great with tomato soup :)
I have seen recipes for lentil bread before, but nobody says anything about the flavor or texture. You have sold me on the process. Thank you for showing us such healthy food.
Thank you so much for yummy gluten free recipes. Yay!
I have heard of lentil bread but never tried it. As usual, Refika, has inspired me to try something new. Thank you 🙏
Yum. I've made this a few times with different fillings, but I made a version today which is to die for. I put the lentils on to soak overnight, covered them and then had no time to deal with them yesterday morning. As a result my lentils were soaking for a day and a half and started to ferment. I also used natural yoghurt that was a bit past its 'use by' date. As a result I got amazing rise on my bread and the texture was more like conventional bread I am used to in the UK. I'm doing this every time now!!
Thanks for sharing. Would you be so kind and let me know if you used any yeast ?anything else because I’m trying to do this today but I don’t want to use the eggs.
Have a great day
Great, thanks for the inspiration! I'll try with green lentils today. ❤🙏
Thank you so much for this…not just gluten free but this bread is also on the lower glycemic side and good alternative for a diabetic like me!
Wow this looks good! Thanks for actually tasting the bread and telling us what it tastes like! I've seen several videos of making lentil bread but no one has said what it tastes like! I want to try these 2 recipes asap! Keep up the great work!
Savory cake version turned out to be amazing. Loved it
İngilizceniz çok iyi. Çok başarılı
Oh yummy I loved this bread. I left the cheese out so next time I'll add the cheese. Thank you so much for sharing
very welcome 🥰
I made the cake version yesterday and it came out so well. As the orange dhal we get here is already split, I reduced the the qty a little bit. Everybody loved it. Thank you Refika ! Lots of love to all of you from Sri Lanka 🌹
I am following you since before the pandemic and I have cooked a lot of your recipes. I cannot believe you keep finding new stuff to cook on your channel. Keep up the good work! Your recipes are fantastic, delicious and easy to make. Thank you for all the cooking ideas! :)
Hi REFIKA ,beautiful lente bread ,THANK YOU so much ,I will prepare this bread for sure very soon.THANKS .Have a NICE DAY😁👍👋
Wonderful! I can't wait to make these breads.
It works really well. Thank you Refika for bringing this to us. Now it is in the oven, 3rd time, and I have halved the ingredients and used a 20cm spring form cake tin. This time the base is split green peas and I have mixed in some diced sun-dried tomatoes and spring onions, with nigella seed on top, but I have also mixed in one tablespoon of rice flour because eating rice with a pulse gives a full protein combination (or so I have been told.) We are having a smaller ratio of carbohydrates with our meals to manage blood sugar. The bread will be eaten with a lovely rich tomatoey ratatouille and cheese. Yum yum! (I hope it works this time)
.9
FYI: One Tablespoon of rice flour won't make a complete protein with 2 cups of lentils (or even 1 cup). However, the dairy (yogurt) in this recipe makes it a whole protein to start with (either a grain or a dairy makes a whole protein with legumes). So no real need to add the rice flour. But, I doubt the rice flour in such a small amount very much affected the recipe. Can hardly wait to try this.
Refikaaa!! How did you lose so much weight when you are around food all the time!! It's amazing!! What will power you have! Way to go!!
We have a vegan cousin for this bread in India called 'dhokla' made with chickpea flour and many variations of it . Yum! 'Handvo' is another one with lentils and vegetables. Lots of love from the US
Reminded me of dhokla too
I subscribed just after you poured the cake mixture into the pan and said "blub-blub-blub-blub!" 🤣Hilarious. I also love Bahar's interjections and helpful questions.
These look and sound delicious! I look forward to trying them. Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
🙏🏻
MashAllah, well done. ماشاء الله احسنت يا اخت رفيقة.
Another fabulous recipe for me to try! The savoury cake looks so good, and I think the bread will be a winner! Thanks Refika! 🤗♥️🤗
Beautiful 🥰 Greetings from Scotland 😊 Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻
you too!! much love to Scotland!! ❤️❤️
Refika thanks for new receipt bring for us . Farnkly I had better connection with previous location you had. It was like a home . Now I think your at school and I am force to sit down and listen to your lesson!!😁😁
I just made this bread for the 2nd time. I used yogurt the first time, but this time I substituted cottage cheese for yogurt. This is the version I prefer. I will be using your very simple and delicious recipe as home made bread from now on. Thank you for this video. I liked it, so I can easily find it,
How much cottage cheese do you use?
Oh yum, I'll definitely be making this bread. We love red lentil Dahl & as I've been gluten free for 24 years I'm always on the lookout for a great tasting gf bread recipe. I think the second loaf with all the seeds looks amazing! I make red lentil dosa flatbreads which are delicious, I bet these loaves will taste similar. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
Omg both look really delicious, and the timing is perfect, because I wanted to reduce my carb consumption. Thank you very much!
Wow!!!its good for diabetic patient.love from Bangladesh.
Very interesting that you can make bread from many kinds of seeds. I will certainly try this one. Thank you for showing us how.
made this last week, doing a second batch today. totally delicious.
Hey Refika
In India there's a savoury dish that's called Khaman Dokhla which is so similar to this dish. It is made with chickpea flour and is steamed and not baked. That's a total vegetarian version and no eggs are used. There's another dish called Handvo. In our Konkani tradition we make crepes of the lentils too which taste absolutely yummmmm. It was great to watch this. I am a vegetarian and do not eat eggs yet i might try a substitute to egg and try this dish.
Yes this reminded me of dhokla
I was thinking just egg or aquafaba and maybe a homemade tofu Feta 😋
No this is handvo, it’s made like this only
@@luckystar4767 true. This is very similar to Handvo without the eggs though.
Looked and smelled so Delicious through this computer that I had to subs😋🍽️ready for a slice😊
This is wonderful thank you. Greetings from James J in Limerick city Ireland
Love all your recipes! The flavours are incredible! Trying the Lentil bread today!
I’ve made this twice. The second time I added sautéed leeks, carrots, and cheese, and a little more than double the amount of salt called for. The original recipe is quite bland for my taste, but the second batch was wonderful!
Hi! Refika! Like Kavita mentioned in the comments, in India we make this bread with baking soda. It acts as as substitute for eggs. If you look for Dhokla and Handvo recipe, then I am sure you might be able to get a clue about how to make this recipe without eggs.
Hi! I need to learn from Indian cuisine more, I'm Portuguese but I'm allergic to glúten it seems 😂. We base many things on wheat. So just baking powder will make it grow? I have to try this. Here bread is very much part of our breakfast and the rice flour bread tastes like nothing😂. Thank you so much!
@@filipasales9291 Baking SODA, not powder! They are 2 different things.
@@christine1962ful Thank you I think I mixed it up.
yay! please bring more healthy recipes like this!
I have a bag of lentils so this is on my list to make. Thank you for this recipe.
Just made the savory cake version and waiting for it to cool. I feel like Bahar and Burak -- it smells so good in here I want to eat it now! It looks very pretty in the pan, I wish I could post a photo here. I know it will be delicious... every Refika recipe I have tried has been great and your videos are so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for being a wonderful place to tune in during the pandemic!! With gratitude from Canada. ❤
Ok, this is not only *delicious*, but the texture is so surprisimg! Very tender. And the dill is EVERYTHING.
Love this idea, also avoiding wheat and love my cornbread with some chili, onions and cumin in it. I always have lentils handy but have never tried this. Looking forward to baking some tmw morning now. Thank you Refika ❣️
Love love love this! Can’t wait to make it. Thank you!
Looks delicious, I'm going to try it with olives and feta.
Make sure whatever you put in, it just gonna taste amazing... ❤️
It's just like dhokla which is prepared in India .
It's made using gram flour (yellow lentil ) .
Much love God bless Refika !!
Both dishes look great .
I had the same thought.
My thoughts exactly!
@@dhadpadi Even idly (urad dal) is similar to this expect that it has rice in it
It's actually called KHAMAN and not DHOKLA (like all non gujjus refer to it).. DHOKLA has some portion of rice in the mix Moreover, it's steamed just like idli. In fact in Gujarat we have another item called IDLA which is also steamed and is like idli. The difference is that IDLA is steamed in one big thali and cut into bite sized pieces. There's plenty of variations of all three.
Though one could compare this bread with another Gujarati dish called HANDVO, which though has rice along with lentils and is baked not steamed.
@@FreeYourImagination Yes Handvo. I had this while watching this and came here in search of any comment I can like and reply on.🙂
You beat me to it, Refika. I was going to comment that this looks just like cornbread! I'd love to make this, using ground flax and water for the eggs and soy/cashew yogurt instead of dairy yogurt. 🤤
A vegan version, yes! Silken tofu also works in place of eggs :)
@@ingridaholmes what else might work instead of yogurt?
@@hibiscusflower5911 So, I'd possibly just swap out 4 eggs (which would roughly equal to 220g) with silken tofu. I believe it would work perfectly, also not lacking of the protein that'd normally come from the eggs in the original recipe.
As for your question, the dairy yogurt, it's best to stick to the recipe and use a yogurt, of course a vegan one in that. I'd possibly use a soy based one but if you have any soy or even nut allergies I think chickpea yogurt would definitely work. Actually I imagine it's best to use either soy or chickpea yogurt, so if you can't pick soy I'd go with chickpea yogurt. Not sure if you can find one commercially (I personally have never came across a chickpea yogurt on the market) but it's so easy to make at home. I highly recommend trying giving it a go. Just search vegan chickpea yogurt online/CZcams and you'll have plenty of references.
Also for the cake version, you can most certainly use firm tofu or any vegan feta-like cheeses from the markets. OOOORR even better, I again highly recommend making your own by curdling your choice of plant based milk with a few tbsp of lemon juice.
Hope this helps!
@@hibiscusflower5911Almond/coconut yogurt and high fat coconut milk are what I
I use. Delicious!
I love your bubbly attitude Refika. I think I am going to dress and wear accessories more like you to see if that would make the bubbly me come back 🙂
You are magical!!! Thank you for your videos. I will start to cook in my Greek kitchen Turkish recipes! 💖 you explain everything so well, that you make everything looking easy!!!
