New to me gluten-free bread: Besan Pura

I went to the local Farmers Market on Tuesday and the Indian food vendor had Besan Pura - which is made from chickpea (gram) flour and is gluten-free. I never thought I'd be able to eat Indian bread with a meal again! I don't think I heated it up quite enough and I have one more to try for next time. I don't see the bread on their website but I got it from Sukhi's.

Oh, and I found this video of how to make it, so I thought I'd share:

My Indian neighbor made chappatis from chickpea flour as well -- not sure if that's typical though.

Do you know the Green Gourmet Giraffe blog? http://gggiraffe.blogspot.com/

She does a lot of gluten free baking, mainly for her 5 yo niece, so there are a lot of sweets and things that are (theoretically) quite tasty. :)

Oh how interesting! I have never had bread with my Indian food, this will be a wonderful new treat!
