About Besan ka cheela

Besan Ka Cheela, a popular dish from Indian cuisine, is a savory pancake made using gram flour (besan), water, and a medley of spices. Often referred to as the Indian-style chickpea flour omelette, it frequently includes chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and spinach, enhancing its flavor and nutritional value. Rich in protein and fiber, besan serves as a gluten-free base, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. The dish is typically cooked with minimal oil on a skillet, lending it a crisp texture while keeping it light. Besan Ka Cheela is also packed with essential nutrients, including iron, magnesium, and B vitamins, making it a wholesome and energy-boosting meal option. However, the healthiness of this dish is influenced by the type and amount of oil used during cooking. Often enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack, it pairs well with chutneys or curd for a balanced and satisfying meal.
