Besan

Besan helps to manage weight because it has lesser calories as compared to flour. Moreover, due to high fiber content, it helps to promote digestion in the body. Besan is a good source of thiamin and vitamin B-6. Thiamin is required for the conversion of food to energy where as Vitamin B-6 is essential for combining of the red blood cells and neurotransmitter serotonin, which generates mood and appetite. Besan is gluten-free flour used in the preparation of several sweet and savoury snacks. The super-fine flour prepared from pure chana dal, has an earthy aroma and binding nature that makes it a key ingredient in the batter used for preparing onion pakodas, traditional potato and vegetable bhajiyas, and some sweet dishes.
