chana flour, patani, bengal gram flour, chick pea flour,About this item
Gram flour is also known as "besan" and is made from hulled chickpeas, also known as chana dal. It has a slightly nutty flavor and earthy aroma. The high-protein content makes it ideal for the large vegetarian population in India. Used widely as a thickener in curries, it also is used to make fritters called pakoras. Kadhi, a North-Indian soup, combines besan with yogurt and cooked spices.
This is also a popular flour substitute for people who have gluten allergies.
