Premium Gram Flour, known as Besan, is a fine, versatile flour made from roasted or unroasted chana dal (split Bengal gram), a staple pulse in Pakistani agriculture and cuisine. It is a fundamental ingredient prized for its binding properties, nutty flavor, and high protein content. Our besan is stone-ground for consistency and supplied fresh from the pulse milling centers of Zabzi Mandi Burewala.
Key Features & Benefits
This besan is characterized by its fine, powdery texture and distinct pale yellow color. Key benefits include high protein content for nutrition, excellent binding capacity without gluten, and a rich, earthy flavor that enhances both savory and sweet dishes. It also acts as a natural thickening agent.
Composition
100% pure ground chana dal (Cicer arietinum), with no additives, wheat flour, or other grain fillers. It is naturally gluten-free. The roasting process for some variants deepens its color and enhances its nutty aroma.
Calories & Nutrition
Per 30-gram serving (approx. ¼ cup): approximately 110-120 calories. It is a nutrient-dense flour, providing a significant source of plant-based protein (approx. 6-7 grams per serving), dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and folate.
Digestion Process
With its high fiber and protein content, besan has a low to medium glycemic index (GI). It digests slowly, promoting steady energy release, prolonged satiety, and balanced blood sugar levels, making it a healthier alternative to refined flours in many applications.
Cooking Method
Preparation varies widely. For pakora batter, it is mixed with water and spices to a thick dropping consistency. For kadhi, it is whisked into yogurt and water. It is often dry-roasted before use in sweets or savory powders to remove raw flavor and enhance aroma. It requires thorough mixing to avoid lumps.
Customer Benefits
An essential, multi-purpose ingredient for iconic Pakistani foods such as besan pakoras, kadhi, burfi, ladoo, and as a base for savory cheelas (gram flour pancakes). Its gluten-free nature makes it suitable for specific dietary needs, while its binding quality is perfect for vegetarian koftas and coatings.
