About Besan curry

Besan Curry is a flavorful dish rooted in Indian cuisine, made primarily from gram flour (besan) and a blend of aromatic spices. Often cooked with yogurt or tamarind for tanginess, it features a thick, creamy texture and incorporates ingredients like turmeric, cumin, and mustard seeds for bold flavors. Vegetables such as onions, tomatoes, or spinach may sometimes be added for variety. Nutritionally, besan is rich in protein and fiber, making it a healthy choice for vegetarians and those seeking plant-based protein. It’s also packed with essential nutrients like folate, magnesium, and zinc. However, the dish’s healthiness can vary depending on the amount of oil or ghee used during preparation. Lowering added fat enhances its nutritional profile and makes it suitable for a balanced diet. Besan Curry is often enjoyed with rice or flatbreads, making it a hearty and satisfying option for meals.
