Besan and Green pea Cheela

Besan flour is naturally higher in protein than wheat-based flours. Even though that’s double the fat of whole-wheat flour, 70 percent of the fat in Besan flour comes from healthy unsaturated fats that can lower cholesterol. 

Besan flour is usually mixed with water, olive oil, yogurt or milk to make a paste that can be any consistency depending on the desired use. The paste is seasoned with any combination of parsley, cumin, coriander, turmeric, red chili, onion or garlic. It’s traditionally cooked in a skillet to create a flatbread or fried into fritters. Use a thick Besan flour batter to coat and fry vegetables a thin batter and fry them into appetizer-like pancakes. As I am here going to make super delicious Green pea cheela...
