From evergreen Indian main meal dishes like kadhi
and cheela, to crispy snacks like pakoda, to our
favourite sweet of besan ki barfi, there's a lot
to offer by this flour. Not to mention, the high
protein content that comes from chickpeas that
this flour is derived from. While we may easily
get besan from all supermarkets and grocery
stores around us, there are many of us who like
their ingredients made at home from scratch.
Here's news for all those who just nodded in
agreement - you can easily make besan flour too
at home.
