Basen Pancakes, also known as Besan Chilla, are a savory dish originating from Indian cuisine. Made primarily with gram flour (chickpea flour), this versatile pancake is mixed with water and spices such as turmeric, cumin, and chili powder, often accompanied by finely chopped onions, tomatoes, and cilantro. These pancakes are naturally gluten-free and rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins like folate and iron, making them a nutritious choice for any meal. Besan Pancakes are typically cooked with minimal oil, which helps reduce overall fat content. Their high protein and low carbohydrate profile make them especially popular for those managing blood sugar or seeking weight-friendly options. However, adding too much oil during cooking or pairing them with greasy sides may detract from their health benefits. Simple, flavorful, and satisfying, Basen Pancakes are a wholesome homage to traditional Indian fare.
