Citraka dasa: One more useful vegetarian and vegan ingredient, discovered recently, for rendering Krishna’s cuisine more attractive.
Aquafaba is the name for the cooking liquid of beans and other legumes like chickpeas. You may know it as the typically discarded liquid found in retail cans and boxes of beans, or as the liquid left over from cooking your own.
To give you a brief glimpse of what you can do with aquafaba, here are just a few vegan recipes you can make: Raw: Fluffs, whips, nice creams, and drink and pie toppings
Baked: Meringues, macarons, and pavlovas
Confectionery: nougat, marshmallows, fudge and icing
Savory: cakes, waffles, cookies, mayo, burgers, cheese, butter, breads, etc
It is all very simple, you do not need any particular kitchen tool or uncommon ingredient. It is cheap and easily available.
It DOES NOT taste like the beans of its origin. It doesn’t require much time for its preparation. I think Iskcon temples, restaurants, and vaishnava families will benefit by implementing its use. And of course it is healthy.
