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.

With an appliance

  • Air fryer 50 min

    Replace step 3: run 180 degrees for 25 minutes with a smaller mold. Cracking occurs faster, so check at the 18-minute mark and cover with foil if it becomes too brown.
