Product Features

Nutritional Facts
Besan is made from ground chickpeas, and chickpea flour is naturally a source of plant protein and fiber. Because many besan recipes involve deep frying or ghee, enjoy those dishes in moderation. Check the Nutrition Facts panel on the pack for exact values and read the allergen statement if you have sensitivities.


Uses in the Kitchen
• Whisk with water, ajwain, chili and turmeric to coat onion, potato or spinach pakoras
• Stir into buttermilk with a mustard seed and curry leaf tadka for Gujarati or Punjabi kadhi
• Roast slowly in ghee, then add sugar and cardamom to shape besan ladoo for Diwali
• Pour thin savory cheela on a hot tawa with chopped tomato and cilantro for breakfast


Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between besan and chickpea flour from a regular supermarket?
Traditional besan is ground from split chana dal, which gives a finer, slightly nuttier flour than many flours milled from white garbanzo beans.
How do I roast besan for ladoo without burning it?
Keep the heat low and stir constantly in ghee for about 15 to 20 minutes until it turns golden and smells toasty.
Where should I keep an opened bag of gram flour?
Seal it in an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry cupboard, or refrigerate it during humid months to keep the flour tasting fresh longer.
Bring home a bag the next time pakora weather rolls in.
