About Besan chilla

Besan Chilla is a nutritious and flavorful Indian pancake made primarily from gram flour (besan), water, and a mix of spices. Often enhanced with chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, coriander, or spinach, it’s a versatile dish commonly enjoyed as a breakfast or snack. Originating from Indian cuisine, it’s naturally gluten-free and rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients, making it a wholesome choice for vegetarians. Besan Chilla is low in calories and contains healthy complex carbohydrates, supporting sustained energy levels. Spices like turmeric and cumin add not only flavor but also anti-inflammatory properties. While it’s typically cooked with minimal oil, excessive use of oil during preparation can increase calorie content. Served with chutneys or yogurt, Besan Chilla is a balanced, satisfying dish that promotes digestive health and heart-friendly benefits when made with care.
