Gram Flour 500g

100% Pure Chana Dal Besan (Gram Flour) 500g in Thailand

Pure Chana Dal Besan (Gram Flour) is an indispensable culinary foundation throughout South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean gastronomy. Produced exclusively by stone-milling de-hulled split Bengal gram chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), this fine golden flour stands apart from inferior commercial flours that blend cheap yellow peas or starches. Pure chana dal besan releases a signature earthy, roasted nut fragrance and possesses natural binding and foaming properties that create exceptionally crisp fried batters and smooth gravies.

Packaged in a modern 500g stand-up resealable zipper pouch, our besan guarantees airtight protection against Thailand’s tropical humidity, preserving its ultra-fine texture and nutty aroma.

Versatile Culinary Applications & Batter Guide

Gram flour is celebrated for its extraordinary culinary versatility across savory and sweet recipes:

1. Crispy Vegetable Pakoras: Whisk 1 cup besan with 1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain), turmeric, chili powder, and water to form a smooth, ribbon-consistency batter. Dip sliced onions, potatoes, or spinach and deep-fry in medium-hot oil for ultra-crispy fritters.
2. High-Protein Besan Cheela (Savory Pancakes): Whisk with finely chopped onions, green chilies, cilantro, and warm water. Pour onto a hot griddle with a touch of ghee for a delicious gluten-free breakfast crepe.
3. Traditional Punjabi Kadhi Pakora: Whisk besan into whisked yogurt and water with spices, then simmer gently for 30 minutes until transformed into a silky, comforting yogurt curry.
4. Classic Sweets (Laddoo, Halwa & Mysore Pak): Roast slowly in pure desi ghee until deeply fragrant and golden-brown, then blend with sugar and cardamom.

Storage Instructions for Tropical Climates

To keep gram flour fresh, dry, and insect-free in Thailand:

• Press the top zipper seal firmly shut after every cooking session.
• Keep in a dry, ventilated cupboard away from stove steam.
• Use a dry spoon every time to avoid introducing moisture droplets into the pouch.
