Besan for Desserts

Besan, also known as Bengal gram flour, chana dal flour is gluten-free flour and mostly used in the preparation of several sweet and savoury snacks. We make both fine and coarse besan. The super-fine flour prepared from pure chana dal, has an earthy aroma and binding nature making it a key ingredient in the batter used for preparing sweet dishes, onion pakodas, traditional potato and vegetable bhajiyas. It is also used in many desserts and battered dishes all over the world. Coarse besan is prepared from pure chana dal and is blended only till it is coarse and used mainly in Indian cuisine especially in making sweets. It is readily available in all stores and looks just like besan but the texture is different.
