how to make it…
1. Preheat the oven to 180˙C line an baking tin (6 inch round or 7×7 square)
with oil.
2. Add the chickpeas in a food processor and blend until smooth – it should
resemble the texture of chunky mashed potatoes. Add the remaining
ingredients except for the chocolate chips and blend well.
3. Stir in most of the chocolate chips and transfer to the lined tin. Sprinkle the top
with the remaining chocolate chips and you can add some granulated sugar
on the top for a crust.
4. Bake for 28mins or so until the top is golden brown and dry to the touch. It
shouldn’t be firm as it sets while it cools down. Remove and leave to cool for
30mins before cutting into squares.
NOTE: You can use coconut sugar/raw cane sugar in place of jaggery
