They’re used for savory pancakes and dosas, fritters and pakoras, batters for snack foods, thickening soups and sauces, traditional sweets like ladoo and halwa, regional dishes such as litti, and chilled sattu drinks.

Roasted chana (sattu) is made from roasted, ground pulses and sometimes includes roasted cereals, giving it a roasted flavor profile; plain besan is made from ground chickpeas (chana) and is the standard unroasted chickpea flour.

Common net weights shown include 14 ounces (400 g), 28 ounces (800 g), 32 ounces (2 lb / 908 g), and 64 ounces (4 lb / 1.81 kg).

They are typically packed in moisture‑barrier plastic bags to protect freshness and provide convenient storage.

Typical ingredient listings include moong (mung bean) flour, chickpea (chana/besan) flour, roasted gram (chana) flour, and coarsely ground or split chickpea products.

Descriptions range from fine, powdery flours to coarser grinds or split‑chickpea textures labeled as coarse.

Listings emphasize small‑batch production, moisture‑barrier packaging for freshness, and—for some grain products—notes that they’re from the most recent crop and stored in weather‑ or climate‑controlled facilities.
