This is smooth, golden besan flour made from carefully selected Chickpeas.
Besan, made from organic chickpeas, is a staple in Indian kitchens and a popular gluten-free alternative to wheat flour. Stone-ground in small batches, it retains its natural flavour and nutrients, offering a fresh, nutty taste that enhances every dish.
Thanks to its dense, sticky texture, besan works well as a thickening agent in sauces, soups, and batters. Perfect for baking, frying, or making traditional snacks like pakoras and sweets like besan ladoo.
Rich in protein and fiber, this flour supports digestion and brings wholesome goodness to your everyday meals. Grown with care, milled gently, and delivered fresh to your kitchen
Besan flour is extremely versatile! Its binding properties make it an essential ingredient for creating fritters, batters, and traditional dishes like pakoras. In gluten-free baking, besan flour lends structure to pancakes and flatbreads, while also providing a mild nutty flavour. If the recipe calls for a lighter crumb, combine it with any other flour. Instead of cream or cornflour, you can use besan as a thickening agent in soups, sauces, and curries.
It is also an egg replacer/binding agent as it is very absorbent (approximately 1 egg = ¼ cup chickpea flour + ¼ cup water).
