Chickpea flour
Chickpea flour, also known as gram flour or besan, is made from ground dried chickpeas, with a mildly nutty, earthy flavour. It is naturally gluten-free and used in batters, flatbreads, and as a thickener, particularly in Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking. It forms a dense, protein-rich batter that behaves differently from wheat-based batters.
