[Jingthing]

you mean the chickpeas. small balls sounds cuter though.

This is expensive to make in Thailand. The chickpeas are expensive here and you should use olive oil, also expensive.

y,i know its expensive,but anyway,if u know how i can find this in c-mai,,,,,will help me alout......

tnx

[realthaideal]

I have an Israeli friend here who makes it all the time. I'll ask where he buys his garbanzo beans (chick peas), and his tahine. Finding olive oil is easy... I know a restaurant supply place where you can buy that for failry cheap. More soon.

And... given the number of Indians living in Thailand, and that a popular snack cracker 'ca gai' is made of them, there has got to be an easy and cheap source for dried chickpeas somewhere. I shall investigate!

off to bed!

There is a middle eastern restaurant, I think it is called Jerusalem, or it has it in it's name. Why don't you ask them where you can buy the chick peas?

[Goshawk]

hello my fiend.. yes, ther is shop down loy crow rowd serve nice bean that yu like. look for palm tree and man with yellow t shirt, he boss.. have nice ball for you. good luck with price..

[Bill97]

Kasem Store or Rimping Supermarket have sold chickpeas. Do not know if they have them now but probably do. Ask at the original Kasem store.

I think that she buys her chickpeas in Burma near Mai Sai.

[p1p]

Jerusalem Felafel certainly makes Hummus and I have seen it for sake in Central Airport, with pitta bread and other mid-eastern delicacies. Rimping and Tesco Lotus both stock chickpeas.

Rimping sell Hummus, check-out the deli section

Hummus can be found at Rimping, Tops Market Place and Kaserm stores.

There are two brands, which do make this products : Jerusalem and the Chiangmai Pickle King.

If anyone have already try those product can you please share some comments here?

Forget Rimping in this case - their chick peas are expensive and only in little packs (although for other things Rimping are great). Inside Wororot Market there is a wonderful Indian stall (ground floor in the covered bit where they sell all the teas, preserved foods, snacks etc - enter from the narrow soi/Chinese Temple side, walk straight down the centre aisle and they are in the last aisle on the right) - they sell all kinds of Indian things (have chick peas in bulk at a good price!) and they speak English and are very helpful. What more could you want? Buying olive oil from places like Rimping also expensive - you can buy it from Hong Huat on Mahidol Road in bulk for a much better price. But need to refrigerate as it goes rancid very quickly. Try rice bran oil instead - excellent light flavour, much better anti-oxidant levels, doesn't go rancid at all (like rice is designed to do well in the heat) and THAT Rimping have at an excellent price (80 baht a litre - the brand is King - usually up near the top shelf) - don't buy the cheaper orange looking rice bran oil that they sell for frying though - it has been heat treated (hence the colour) and not good for anything except deep frying. Good luck!

Prince Bhisadej at Royal Project said they produce chick peas. You can maybe call them and ask or go to their shop on Suthep Road at the back of CMU.

Jerusalem Falafel on Moon Muang near Thapae Gate is probably best.

Thanks for the tip on the place in Worarot market. I'll check it out. I have been looking for a cheaper source of chick peas for our falafel.

tnx

hey there gal -

i make hummus here all the time, so i can appreciate your desperation to make it as well.

you can get chick peas (also called garbanzo beans) at rimping supermarket. they come in a can and are sold in the canned fruit/vegetable aisle (usually near the corn, etc.). i think it's about 80 baht per can.

last weekend i bought chickpeas at tops supermarket to make hummus and it was terrible. the only difference in the recipe was the brand of chickpeas - which was waitrose brand. this is usually a good brand, but the chickpeas were bland and flavourless. i highly recommend you get the brand from rimping (sorry - can't remember name).

hope this helps.

Hi Gal,

If you're still looking for chick peas , I just bought a 2 x 500gm packets today at Wororot Market for 52 baht each.

Best direction I can give you is,

1. Make sure you are inside Wororot, NOT Lam Yai market.

2. Walk towards the river. At the back wall, a little to the right, and before you come to the walk way through to the flower section, you will find an INDIAN

stall (owner Indian, not Thai) selling all sorts of spices etc. Ask for chick peas and go home and make your delicious hummus.

3. If you can't find the stall - just ask for the Indian spice man. Someone will show you the way.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers

This is for VitalGirl.

Sorry but I hadn't read your post. Obviously we're talking about the same seller.

There are two types of hummus at Rimping. They are quite edible but certainly unmemorable.

I have a quirk that hummus should not be made in a liquidiser, but squished up by hand.....should be more of an oily paste than a froth.

You may like to try orange instead of lemon juice if you can get really tasty oranges with a bite and put plenty in, and might scrape spicy jalopenos in too.

ps: there were navel oranges in Rimping recently

After reading this thread I decided not to buy the chickpeas at Rimping and wait until I eventually found myself in the Warorot market. Well, I just got back from Warorot. I found the recommended vendor. I bought 500gm of dried chick peas for 55 Baht, almost the identical price as the dried chickpeas in Rimping

Sure can - I make this regularly as we LUURVE hummus!!

Hummus Ingredients (Makes about 600ml - 1 pint):-

225g (8oz) chickpeas soaked overnight OR 2 tins of chick peas, drained and rinsed

2 garlic cloves

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 tablespoons tahini (can buy in Villa)

Juice of 1.5 lemons

Pinch paprika

Freshly ground black pepper

METHOD

- Drain then cook the chickpeas in plenty of water for about 60-90 mins or according to the directions on the packet.

- Drain, reserving the liquid

- Puree the cooked chickpeas withe remaining ingredients with enough of the cooking liquid to make a creamy consistency.

- Taste and add more black pepper or lemon juice if necessary.

Chill in the fridge.

ENJOY as a Dip with either peeled carrot, cucumber and pepper(capsicum) sticks.

Or with pitta!

WAY cheaper (AND tastier) to make your own rather than buy readymade in the stores!
