Ingredients

  • 250 g chickpea flour (2 cups) gram flour
  • 250 ml water (1 cup)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons rapeseed or olive oil divided
  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 3 tablespoons tandoori seasoning
  • ¼ - ½ teaspoon chilli powder optional
  • Shredded red cabbage sliced spring onions and sliced green chillies, to serve

For the avocado coriander sauce

  • 1 avocado
  • 2 spring onions
  • 2 cups coriander leaves
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or more lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon rapeseed or olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  • To make the socca, place the chickpea flour in a bowl along with ½ teaspoon of salt. Using a whisk, gradually incorporate the water and 1 tablespoon of oil until you have a smooth batter. Leave to rest for at least 30 minutes to allow the chickpea flour to absorb the water.
    250 g chickpea flour, 250 ml water, ½ teaspoon salt, 3-4 tablespoons rapeseed or olive oil
  • Meanwhile, peel the sweet potato and dice into ½ inch chunks. Toss with the tandoori seasoning (and chilli powder if using) and 2-3 tablespoons of oil until coated. Check to see if your tandoori seasoning contains salt and add a good pinch if not. Spread out on a baking sheet and place in the oven for 30-35 minutes until tender.

  • After 30 minutes, give the socca batter another stir and add a splash more water to loosen it if it’s looking a bit thick. It should be the consistency of pancake batter. Heat a frying pan or griddle over medium heat. Once hot, drop ¼ cupfuls of the batter into the pan and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until golden and set.
  • To make the avocado coriander sauce, place all ingredients in a food processor and blitz until smooth. Taste to check the seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice as needed.
    1 avocado, 2 spring onions, 2 cups coriander leaves, juice of half a lemon, 4 tablespoons water, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon rapeseed or olive oil, ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Serve the socca warm topped with the sauce and tandoori sweet potato chunks. Garnish with shredded red cabbage, sliced spring onions and green chilli.
