TRS - Besan (Gram Flour) 1kg

TRS Gram Flour is besan — flour milled from split brown chickpeas, pale yellow and finer than it looks, with a distinctly savoury, slightly bitter taste when raw that cooks out completely. It is naturally gluten-free.

Best for

• Pakora, bhajia and onion fritters
• Kadhi, besan chilla and dhokla
• Mysore pak, besan laddu, and thickening gravies

How to cook it

Besan lumps easily, so whisk it into water a little at a time rather than tipping the water in. For pakora batter aim for the thickness of double cream and let it rest ten minutes. For kadhi, mix the besan into the yoghurt cold and bring it up slowly, stirring, or it will split. Batters and gravies both need a good ten minutes of cooking to lose the raw taste.
