So, ketchupqueen, guess what I found when we went grocery shopping today?
Yup, that's right. Sesame Paste!!!!!!
So guess what we bought?

And then I went looking for chickpeas, and we found something that may or may not be the same or at least will be closely related. Black Gram. Which means nothing to you, but it looks like chickpeas, only smaller.
Yay!!!!!
And of course, what do I think of this whole time? You! Because, of course, that just follows naturally.

I'm pretty curious to hear how the black gram does as a chickpea substitute. They're pretty much chickpea *shaped*, sure, but are the flavors of the two beans very similar? I've got a bag of black gram at home that I've been meaning to experiment with for ages, but I haven't gotten around to doing to, so I have no idea how they taste or what their texture is like once they're cooked.

See, here, gram is, I believe, chickpeas. So when the bag said black gram, I wasn't worried. I guess I better look harder. I'm pretty sure I can get chickpeas here - it's fairly popular in Indian cooking. So let me look some more. I had just assumed . . . And you know how that goes . . .
