Description
Besan is a pulse flour made from ground chana dal (brown chickpeas). It is a gluten-free staple in South Asian cuisine, known for its nutty flavor and excellent binding properties.
Besan is incredibly versatile, used in everything from savory snacks to thick gravies and desserts.
Fritters (Pakoras/Bhaji): The most common use. Besan is mixed with water and spices to create a batter for deep-frying vegetables like onions, potatoes, and spinach.
Binding Agent: Used in koftas (meatless meatballs) and kebabs to prevent them from breaking apart during cooking.
Savory Pancakes (Chilla): A popular breakfast dish made by mixing besan with chopped onions, chilies, and herbs, then cooking it like a crepe.
Pro Tip: For the best flavor, lightly dry-roast the Besan in a pan before adding it to recipes. This removes the "raw" bean taste and brings out a deep, nutty aroma.
