How to Make Fresh Besan Flour?
by Anthony Braganza supermarketBesan
(gram flour) is one of the most commonly used flours in Indian cuisine
(right after atta and maida, of course). Its distinct nutty flavour and coarse
texture work their way up to put some delectable food on our plate. 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.
