Instrucțiuni

Preheat a waffle iron and prepare your desired toppings. To make the tahini yogurt, stir together the yogurt, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and cardamom in a medium bowl. If the yogurt is too thick, thin with water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

In a large bowl, whisk together the chickpea flour, baking powder, coriander, cumin, salt, cayenne, if using, and several grinds of pepper. Add the water, olive oil, cilantro, scallions, and garlic and stir until combined.

Scoop ½ cup of batter for each waffle into a large Belgian waffle maker, or scoop an appropriate amount for your waffle maker. Cook for 4 to 9 minutes, or until golden brown and lightly crisp. The timing will depend on your waffle iron. I like to cook these savory waffles longer than sweet waffles to get them crisper. Serve with desired toppings.
