About Besan cheela

Besan Cheela is a savory pancake made from gram flour (chickpea flour) and is a popular dish in Indian cuisine. Often enjoyed as a quick breakfast or snack, its batter is typically prepared with gram flour, water, and spices like turmeric, chili powder, and cumin, along with finely chopped vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, and spinach. This versatile dish is pan-fried with minimal oil, making it a healthier alternative to deep-fried options. Besan Cheela is naturally gluten-free, high in protein, and fiber-rich due to the chickpea flour. It can aid digestion and provide sustained energy, making it a nutritious choice for meals or snacks. However, moderation in oil and salt usage is advised to retain its health benefits. Pairing it with chutneys or yogurt enhances its taste while keeping the meal wholesome and balanced.
