Karantika

Method

1. 1 Mix the chickpea flour with 500 ml of cold water and salt, then strain through a sieve to remove any lumps.
2. 2 Beat the eggs and oil into the mixture, then let it rest for 15 minutes until all the air bubbles have risen.
3. 3 Pour the batter into a 3 cm deep baking tray and bake at 200 degrees Celsius for 35 minutes.
4. 4 The surface of the cake should be cracked and browned, while the inside is soft and creamy; that's the correct texture for karantika Oran.
5. 5 Cut into squares, sprinkle with cumin and pepper, then sandwich in bread and spread with harissa.
