besan gram flour

Besan is widely used for savory batters and fried snacks (pakoras, fritters), pancakes and chillas, and as a thickener. It is also used in general baking and cooking applications.

Besan is sold in both multi‑pound bags and smaller consumer sizes. Examples shown include 64 oz (4 lb), 32 oz (2 lb), and 1 lb resealable bags.

Common packaging formats include plastic/poly bags, PET jars, and smaller resealable 1 lb bags for consumer use.

Several product listings indicate India as the country of origin for the besan flour.

Besan is used to make traditional sweets like besan ladoo, barfi, and halwa. These recipes often call for roasting the flour in ghee to develop a nutty aroma before adding sweeteners.
