About Besan chela

Besan Chela is a savory pancake originating from Indian cuisine, made primarily from besan (gram flour), water, and an array of spices. Common additions include finely chopped onions, tomatoes, green chili, turmeric, cumin, and coriander, creating a flavorful and nutrient-rich dish. It is often served with chutney or yogurt and can be enjoyed as a wholesome breakfast, snack, or light meal. This dish is naturally gluten-free and rich in protein due to the gram flour, making it a great choice for vegetarian diets. It also provides dietary fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals. When prepared with minimal oil and paired with fresh vegetables, Besan Chela is a healthy option for promoting heart health and digestion. However, the use of excessive oil or processed chutneys can add extra calories, so moderation is key to maintaining its nutritional benefits.
