Definitely something I would never have thought could become a kind of yogurt! I'm very curious about the taste and the possibilities. I've never made any yogurt at home but I am seriously considering giving it a try. Must get some raw chickpeas as I only have tinned cooked ones at home. Also I really appreciate the tips and things to be careful of! That's something a lot of people don't mention when sharing recipes.
This is terrific--I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy so will definitely be trying this. Thanks so much for sharing
If this makes you feel better, do. Plant oestrogens, however, are scientifically considered safe, they don’t affect humans the way animal oestrogens do.
For what it's worth, the estrogens in tofu have been found to not actually impact the cancers nor biological processes in humans. Lavender on the other hand is a different story.
Be careful the fats that are in cashews can allow a pretty toxic completely untreatable 100% lethal bacteria to grow in a fermentation that. You don't want to be fermenting coconuts or cashews unless you have laboratory testing facilities to ensure the end product does not become toxic. I don't think anybody knows enough about the sudden death cases to tell exactly how long fermentation needs to happen for those particular ingredients to turn toxic. It doesn't happen often but if it happens to someone there's nothing that can be done to save them😢 All we really know is it's specific to the fats found in these two foods. I believe the coconut is the most common culprit but there has been at least one case of it happening with cashew. Then again it wouldn't shock me if somebody put coconut in with that cashew, but I'm not an expert on the subject.
@CaroAbebe yes! Just make sure to use new, high quality probiotics - I tried it with the old ones in the back of my cabinet first and it didn't work xP
Dude, you can't even imagine how grateful I am! Yogurt isn't just food, it's a part of our culture. I'm totally obsessed with all kinds of dzhadzhik, gudzha, and other yogurt-based dishes. It's been a real struggle, bro, but now I feel like I've found the solution. So, may the Force and Inspiration always be with you!
Cabbage leaves naturally contain lactobacilli on their surface, which is how you make sauerkraut. Maybe that would work as well if you don't have yogurt at hand.
Great recipe! I found that when I used the soaking water to start the fermentation, I got basically no tang at all in the first batch. However, for my second batch, I used a tablespoon of the first batch as starter, and after the initial fermentation of that batch it developed a really nice tang, which then continued to develop in the fridge. It seems like it works to use the soaking water to start the fermentation-you just have to wait one or two batches before the tanginess really kicks in and the probiotics are fully activated!
This over night soaking starts the fermentation process if you leave the bowl in a warm place. I am guessing that where you are right now is quite cold and so that may have been an issue. Priyanka may actually be in India and so for her this was a seamless process. People leave many things to soak overnight in order to start the fermentation process. Idli/dosa batter, something that you have discussed at length in this channel, being a prime example.
You could mix a bit of chickpea flour and water into a thick batter and let that ferment for 1-3 days and that would be your starter, which you can then use to ferment a yogurt batter made from chickpea flour or blended chickpeas before heating it.
Personally, I consider that the result won't be same as flour usually loses some of the potential of the raw bean. Anyway, try could result in something.
Thank you for the recipe and for not saying a word more than necessary. Great video. I love yogurt but I stopped having it when I gave up dairy products. I'll try this and let you know how it came out. Good luck!!
Hello from Georgia in the US. So happy to find you on youtube; I've seen you on instagram and enjoyed your videos. I can't wait to try this chickpea yogurt. I look forward to seeing more of you Hermann. Thank you, stay well.
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
I did it using Priyanka's video and it worked but I will be using this video to continue to create with that first batch as an endless starter.This video also gave more options, details such the chunkiness being normal and you just need to blend to make it smooth again because I thought something went wrong but it was fine so I just mixed it put a spoon added some fruit and other toppings and my children had a delicious snack. l love the chickpea tofu video - did that last week. Your videos explain more fully and give alternative ways to make and I like that.
Thanks for the recipe. After mixing it it was super smooth. Honestly I am not used to the taste even though I added real vanilla when cooking the milk and lemon after fermentation. Will still eat it but not on its own maybe with homemade granola and fruits 😊
I was making a yougurt with her video today. I didn’t have any bubbles in the soaked water but added it anyway to one half, to the other half I added the water and some water, which separated from my soy yougurt. 8 hours have passed already. It became like jelly but I am not sure it became a yougurt, maybe it just became that way. It should be a bit sour after all, right?
Would this also work with probiotoka instead of yogurt? I can't find any yogurt with live cultures. I would be very happy to receive an answer. Kind regards from Germany. 💚🕊️
Thank you for the video! I’ve been wanting to try this method for a while- I love my nutmilk kefirs but they always end up so thin. I added some mesophilic strains (kefir starter) and two teaspoons of sugar in addition to the more thermophilic strains in the yogurt and fermented for 14 hours in my oven with just the light on- deliciously tart and tangy. I’m hoping I can train my yogurt to that characteristic kefir fizz without losing the thickness- we’ll see!
I found this an intriguing recipe, so I made it myself. You said in the video that you should leave it in a warm place for 16 hours. I let it stand at room temperature, does this still work for the bacteria? If not, where do you put it in a warm place? Or do you use a yogurt maker?
Hi Julius. May I request that you add temperature taken via an instant read thermometer at the various steps of the recipe? Also, I have much better experience making yogurt in an electronic pressure cooker, such as an Instant Pot for the “boiling” and fermentation step. Is it possible to adapt this method to an electronic pressure cooker?
Ooohhh thank you for posting this recipe sir!! I am sorry i started to follow your channel about 2months ago.. So i just wanted to ask that you always say something at the end of each video..what does it mean?.. Could you plzzzz tell me sir
Wondering if the metal bowl was the culprit in the failed fermentation using the chickpea soaking liquid. I've heard from many that metal interferes with fermentation. Personally I've not fermented in metal so have no direct experience.
I made it. Was bubbly and bit separated after 12 hours. I bleded it. The texture came out perfect but it was not sour at all. Do you think it didn't ferment then?
Pl convey benefits consumption of quantityto cure diseses with limitations & sideeffects if any .with other types of curds tòo other types of curds too .All the best T.C.
i wonder how well this would work with lupin, especially with australian sweet lupin. less carbs and more protein (although probably more fiber getting left behind, i wonder if it would be possible to leave that in)
Kudoos! to you bro ,very Happy to see u making many indian dishes and tasting it and making it in an authentic way . Kindly try Idiyappam and Thenga Paal ( sweet coconut milk) bro ❤❤❤
I can find locally sourced dairy far more easily than locally grown chickpeas, but I do want to try to make vegan yogurt. Interesting! I think a little fat like from coconut or sesame seeds would vastly improve the flavor
Helppp tried this out, I was so excited about this but the flavour is hideous! A bit raw, savory... Don't even know what to use it for now... Does the milk need to cook for a minimum certain time? I kept it on the stove right until it began hardening 😢
@@BakingHermannyes I was incredibly pleasantly surprised too! So far I’ve made it the same way Labneh is made (pressing out the water and forming it into balls, coating in herbs, storing some in brine, and some just in jars as is. Reminiscent of cream cheese too) and for a block of cheese, I’ve put it in mini spring pans, some parchment underneath, a bamboo sushi mat and a tray to catch the water, dried it at a low temperature over the course of a week or so, and put in the refrigerator to age and dry out further, and there you’ve got a very affordable, delicious live cultured vegan cheese! Very customisable ofcourse, I’ve done if with soy and coconut as well (the latter is coming out much like goat cheese!) It works with a Burmese tofu batter as well, as long as I put in the live culture when its warm and no longer hot, it tastes very rich this way, whereas the yoghurt gives a more delicate flavour. And all the water caught can ofcourse be used for more future batches! A gift that keeps on giving 😊 Always looking forward to your videos!!! 😊
I ADD DATES AND FRUITS LIKE BLUEBERRIES OR STRAWBERRIES TO IT TO SWEETEN IT UP AS I DONT EAT SUGARS OR SALT SO I SWEETEN IT UP WITH FRUITS AND UNSWEETENED COCONUT SHAVINGS AND DATES AND DRIED MANGOS AND THE LAST ONE I MADE WITH BANANA BLUEBERRIES AND BLACK BERRIES FOR A FRUITY TASTE :)
Is coagulation necessary? What if i turn of the heat while it's in liquid state and cool it down to room temperature and then, add the cultured yogurt? Will it become thick just like the way shown in this video?
Before becoming vegan, I regularly made yogurt with cow's milk. I cannot eat soy and since becoming vegan I have been very disappointed in plant yogurt. Plant yogurts have all been too bland. I will give this recipe a try, although I am concerned about the lingering raw chickpea taste. If the resulting yogurt is tangy, I will do the dance of joy!
I have just started soaking my chickpeas, I'm excited to see how this turns out! Thanks for another great recipe! Btw, the above link to get to the recipe on your website isn't working. :)
I'm wondering if you can make it with sprouted chickpeas and maybe in that case it doesn't even needed to be heated as you can eat sprouted chickpeas raw.
Love the recipe, but my chickpea milk never thickens when cooled after cooking like yours does, any ideas why? The yogurt works, very tangy when done, just not thick. Thank you!
Sorry if this doesn't help, just a guess, but maybe you're not blending or straining the chickpeas enough? Ideally all the starch and protein would be in the milk, with only fiber left behind. Or maybe you're just not boiling it long enough. The thickening should be coming from the starch in the beans, so either there's not enough starch from bad extraction, or it's not reduced enough from the boil (or that's my thought anyway). If you need a hack to "fix" it, i figure adding some cornstarch dissolved in water during the boiling step should provide the thickening you're missing.

Same! I had absolutely no idea if would ferment well, but it works! Nature's magic!
Please let us know about the taste if you can.
Channel subscribe please iam poor family members halp me 😅😅😅
I made it... the taste is awful....nothing like yogurt taste... I won't make it again, never ever. I almost did vomit. Sorry...
So can I use cow milk yogurt yogurt?
Try this with red split lentils.
Delicious and a lovely pink colour.
I did add a pinch of salt and sugar.
I have replaced the cucumber with green apple & mint with arugula. It was magic!!
Cool!

Adding some cashews to the blend really improves the flavor.
Anything would.
Needs a little fat

@@darcieclements4880 hey! can you please link to an article or more context about this? I can't find more info online x thank you!!
If you live somewhere where it's difficult to get vegan yogurt (like where I live), you can mix the contents of a probiotic capsule in instead :)
Have you actually tried that? Sounds like a great idea!
@CaroAbebe yes! Just make sure to use new, high quality probiotics - I tried it with the old ones in the back of my cabinet first and it didn't work xP

Kefir fermented milks make great lactose free yogurt and kefir cheese. Yummy.

You can always add Fenugreek or fresh/dried chilli crowns to kick start the fermentation. You actually don't need a starter. :)

How does that work in a humid climate, to leave it out ?
can u share the recipe for leftover pulp?

can i do the same with the chickpeas that are already boiled?
0:11 endless "betch", Don't blame me, blame QCP for the pronunciation. 😂😂😂
Would kefir work as a starter?
What do you do with the rough part of chickpeas?
I'm wondering if you can make it with sprouted chickpeas and maybe in that case it doesn't even needed to be heated as you can eat sprouted chickpeas raw.
It would not work as sprouting eliminate saponin from the chickpeas. It is saponin that makes this yogurt thick
@@lolalune754 ah, thanks for reply!
Thank you.
Can you add the fiber back before fermentation? It's a shame not to use it.
Love the recipe, but my chickpea milk never thickens when cooled after cooking like yours does, any ideas why? The yogurt works, very tangy when done, just not thick. Thank you!
Sorry if this doesn't help, just a guess, but maybe you're not blending or straining the chickpeas enough?
Ideally all the starch and protein would be in the milk, with only fiber left behind.
Or maybe you're just not boiling it long enough.
The thickening should be coming from the starch in the beans, so either there's not enough starch from bad extraction, or it's not reduced enough from the boil (or that's my thought anyway).
If you need a hack to "fix" it, i figure adding some cornstarch dissolved in water during the boiling step should provide the thickening you're missing.
