Besan
Besan is a flour made from ground dried chickpeas, widely used in Indian cooking for batters, flatbreads, and thickening curries. It has a slightly nutty, earthy flavour and is naturally gluten-free, commonly used to make dishes like pakoras and socca. It behaves differently from wheat flour, forming a denser batter with a distinct flavour when cooked.
