These crispy delicious Piroshki are the gluten-free version of the traditional Russian Piroshki (little hand pies), with juicy cabbage filling.

I was born in Russia and obviously I love Piroshki, They are fluffy and so tasty. Unfortunately they are high with carbs and fat so i don’t eat it very often. After my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac, I stopped making them. Luckily, I found a healthier substitute.

Lately, I discovered the Chickpea flour and its nutrition benefits. It is a high protein flour and contains relatively low amount of carbs. I Usually put 1-2 tablespoons of Chickpea flour in my casseroles and thought to make dough from this flour. To my surprise, the dough wasn’t sticky and was very easy to work with.

 

 

 

Filling– you can fill the Piroshki with whatever your heart desires, cooked ground meat or mashed potatoes for example. I like Cabbage because of its juiciness and I also like to cut a boiled egg and add it to the filling. For a vegan version, it can do without the egg.

Frying– of course, the Piroshki can be baked in the oven for healthier version but I fried them. I was afraid they will dry out in the oven.

To be honest, it doesn’t taste like the regular Piroshki, and it has the taste of chickpeas but it doesn’t matter to me, as the final result was so yummy and crispy.
