Gram flour recipies?

I bought (by mistake) a bag of gram (chickpea) flour, and now I have no idea what to do with it! I bake a lot but the fact that it is gluten free makes me nervous. Short of making a million chapattis, what can I make?

Here's a quick and tasty recipe from Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking:

Eggless French Toast with Herbs

Combine the following batter ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until well-combined:

!/3 c. gram flour
2-4 chilies
1/4 c. cilantro
one slice fresh ginger, peeled
2 T. chopped onion
1/4 c. tofu or paneer
3/4 c. water
1/2 t. salt

Batter can be kept in fridge up to three days before making the french toast.

Dip slices of sandwich bread in the batter and fry in butter on a very hot griddle.
