Frequently Asked Questions
Is besan the same as chickpea flour?
Besan is usually ground from split brown chickpeas (chana dal), while some chickpea flour is made from white chickpeas. They behave similarly in most recipes.
How do I avoid a raw taste in besan dishes?
Cook it long enough. For ladoos, roast until nutty and golden. For kadhi, simmer until the mixture thickens and loses its raw aroma.
How long can I keep an open bag?
Move it to an airtight container in a cool, dry spot and use it within the best-by date on the pack.
