Rainy Days, Warm Bakes: USA Pulses Add Nutrition

As the monsoon season brings cooler weather, USA Pulses offer a nutritious twist to homemade baked goods. Naturally rich in plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients, these pulses enhance everyday recipes without sacrificing taste. Chef Tushar Dhingra has created two recipes—Chocolate Chickpea Brownie and Protein Rich Multigrain Cookies—that combine comfort with health.

Chocolate Chickpea Brownie Recipe

This protein brownie uses USA chickpea flour for a fudgy texture. Ingredients include 170g unsalted butter, 250g breakfast sugar, 180g dark chocolate (54%), 63g milk chocolate (35%), 60g flour, 40g roasted USA chickpea flour, 30g cocoa powder, 5ml vanilla extract, and 3 eggs. Preheat oven to 180°C. Melt chocolates with butter, whisk in sugar, add eggs one at a time, stir in vanilla, then sift and fold in dry ingredients. Pour into a lined baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool completely before slicing. Pair with hot coffee or masala chai for a rainy-day treat.
