Besan Halwa is a rich, aromatic dessert rooted in Indian cuisine. Made from roasted gram flour (besan), ghee, sugar, and water, this comforting delicacy is often enhanced with cardamom, nuts, and raisins. The roasting process gives it a nutty flavor and smooth, pudding-like texture. Besan Halwa is a source of quick energy due to its carbohydrates, with gram flour offering a modest amount of protein and fiber. However, its high ghee and sugar content make it calorie-dense, so moderation is key for those watching fat or sugar intake. Traditionally enjoyed during festivals and special occasions, it provides warmth and satiety, especially when consumed in cold weather. While it offers some nutrients from the gram flour and nuts, its richness makes it best suited as an occasional treat rather than a regular staple in a healthy diet.
