@fitclaire 🇩🇿 J’ai découvert la karantika en Algérie, et j’ai essayé de la cuisiner à la maison ! C’est un flan de pois chiches, servi dans une baguette avec de la harissa et du cumin. Ingrédients : 🔸 250 g de farine de pois chiches 🔸 1 litre d’eau 🔸 1/2 verre d’huile d’olive 🔸 150 ml de lait 🔸 1 œuf 🔸 Sel, poivre Préparation : Mélangez tous les ingrédients jusqu’à obtenir une pâte fluide et sans grumeaux.

Golden Warmth

There’s a quiet tenderness in Love – Numidia Lezoul that mirrors the soul of Karantika: both carry that soft, glowing warmth that feels like home, like something simple yet deeply rooted in memory. The song’s gentle pulse echoes the way Karantika has lived in Algerian kitchens and bakeries for generations — a dish born from everyday craft, shaped by hands that understood heat, patience, and care. Just as Numidia’s voice wraps emotion in light, this humble chickpea flan wraps history in flavor, turning a baker’s old oven‑testing trick into a comfort food that still feeds the heart as much as the body.

Karantika: The Silky Algerian Chickpea Flan 🇩🇿🧡🥣

A street‑food icon from Oran to Algiers — simple, comforting, and endlessly nostalgic.

The Story

Karantika (also spelled garantita, calentica, karane) is woven into the collective memory of Algeria. Sold hot from street carts, wrapped in soft bread (atte), and crowned with harissa, it’s the kind of humble recipe that becomes a national love language.

This version — inspired by @fitclaire — keeps the spirit intact: silky, custardy, subtly smoky from cumin, and perfect whether served in a sandwich or sliced like a flan.

Ingredients 🫘

• 250 g chickpea flour
• 1 liter water
• 1/2 glass olive oil
• 150 ml milk
• 1 egg
• Salt & pepper

Instructions 🔥

1. Mix the base

Whisk all ingredients together until smooth, glossy, and completely lump‑free.

2. Prep the dish

Oil a baking dish generously and pour in the mixture.

3. Bake

Bake at 180°C for 30–40 minutes, until lightly golden and set in the center.

4. Serve

Slice warm and finish with harissa, a sprinkle of cumin, and a drizzle of olive oil. For the full street‑food experience, tuck it into atte or baguette with a squeeze of lemon.

Why It Works

• Chickpea flour creates a naturally creamy, custard‑like texture.
• Olive oil enriches the flan without heaviness.
• Milk + egg give it that classic Oran‑style softness.
• Harissa and cumin bring heat and depth.
