Thank you Bob Terwilliger!

Around the Cambridge 02139 area or by mail where would the
bread made from chickpea flour be available?... ready to eat
or ready to warm and eat.

Many local India specialty grocery shops and restaurants did not
pan out for bread made from chickpea flour!

It appears pappadums are made from urad dal, a type of Indian lentil,
see urad dal

chapati flour appears to be a blend of
wheat and malted barley flours,

They're made from a variety of flours. Some are made from dal, some made
with a combination of lentil flour and rice flour, some are made with besan
(chickpea flour).
