My indian coworker makes these doughnuts, i am serious you can never tell they are not wheatflour based, but Dal -some kind of dried lentil, like pea or bean or such, soaked and grinded. Can be bought at indian grocers.
Because they are vegetarians, and wheat/grains never really grew there historically, they got some interesting ideas..

That looks great!
Urid Dal iirc are lentils. I never could really come up with a great use for them outside of soup until I discovered Indian and Pakistani food.
Hmmm.....what about your menu for Pesach?
I can't afford the Shemura matzah and it won't be sent anyhow unless I have a rabbi vouching for me.
Mostly we stick with a half Sephardi half Non-gebrokts menu.
The reasoning behind this is, The children and I would be limited only to fruit/veg/dairy/meat and potato starch otherwise. With my vitamin deficiencies, and the fact this would severely limit vitamins/minerals in the kids diet; I cannot do that. So, we had to make the decision to eat well and not suffer during the holiday. Corn, Rice, beans, lentils and peas are back on the menu, and we did really well last year. I didn't feel like I was fasting the entire time, and it was easier to meal plan.
I've not found a home made matzah that works. I've tried at least 10 different GF recipes too.
However, I found some non-gebrokts bread we were able to make that was 100% gluten free, and we used it to remember matzah, which we cannot have.
Same as Tu B'shevat seders who call for wheat and barley - we do something else and remember those two grains we can't even touch without a reaction.
I understand this makes it difficult for some to come to our home due to the way we observe the holiday, but I figure it's a trade off I can handle.
