What is Leblebi powder lokma?
Leblebi powder lokma is a traditional Turkish sweet made by combining sugar with leblebi powder, finely ground roasted chickpeas, and shaping the mixture into small bites. Unlike the familiar fried dough lokma, it has the toasted, nutty flavour of chickpeas. Depending on how it is made, the texture can be crumbly or more compact.
In Turkey, it is enjoyed as a small sweet with tea or offered to guests at home. It is sugary and energy-dense, though the chickpea powder also contributes some protein and fibre. Serve a modest piece with unsweetened tea for a simple, less sweet-feeling treat.
