That looks so good, I’m going to try it. I just have to find Besan somewhere!
Do you roast the besan or buy it roasted?
Besan also known as split chickpea flour or chana dal flour in Hindi. Hope you can find it in your area. We dry roast the besan in a pan on low heat. Just until fragrant. Hope you will enjoy it
