Chickpeas and rice. Something I never imagined I would enjoy in the form of a chip. Typically, I think of hummus when I think of chickpeas, so when I saw these bags of chips, I was fairly taken aback.
Today I had the
pleasure of trying Maya Kaimal's
line of Chickpea Chips. The makers of Indian foods, sauces, and now
chips, sent over some delectable flavors. Lightly Salted, Seeded Multigrain, and Sweet Chili. Besides being loaded with protein and
fiber, they taste like a gourmet potato chip, which I'm always ready to try. I knew I was being
healthy as I was eating handfuls at a time, which made them so much
more enjoyable (they're gluten-free, kosher and vegan). Great with cheese, meat, or dipped in virtually any kind of
sauce, the flavors go with just about anything, but are also delicious enough to be eaten by themselves.
Inspired by murukku, a traditional South Indian snack, their Chickpea Chips use the
seasonings and ingredients that are always so popular among the flavors of South Asia.
Maya
Kaimal, owner of the self-named business, has received a Julia Child
Cookbook Award, and as the driving force behind these Indian-inspired
products, Maya attemps to always faithfully translate the traditional
home cooking of her Indian family for the modern American lifestyle.
