here is what she says:
We are real lovers of curry in our house and finding new and entertaining ways to mop of the sauce is always high on the agenda. Being obsessed with fermenting I was determined to find a way to achieve a winning flat bread that ticks all the nutrition boxes.
Flat breads of course can be made with grains so easily but I wanted a completely grain free number and so resorted to legumes. Legumes, like grains, contain anti-nutrients and benefit from being soaked or fermented. The gold standard when using any grain, legume, seed or nut is to soak/sprout/ferment it before use and dehydrate it to then add to recipes of blitz to make flour.
In this recipe I have use white bean flour but any bean could be used, I was tempted to use red kidney beans as the end result would have been so pretty! If you are following GAPS then don’t use chick pea but I have used chick pea (aka besan flour) in the past and it is really very tasty.

Blend flour, oil and salt with half the liquid and add more as needed to form a pliable dough. Cover dough tightly and rest for a few hours at least then divide into 5 balls and roll flat, add the spices to each individual ball so you can make a variety or leave some plain for the non-adventurous. Fry in a dry non-stick pan on each side until golden.
