About Besan pola

Besan Pola is a traditional Indian dish originating primarily from Maharashtra, made with chickpea flour (besan), spices, and sometimes vegetables like onion or chili. This savory pancake is quick to prepare and often enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or light meal. Chickpea flour, the main ingredient, is a rich source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential nutrients such as iron, magnesium, and B vitamins. Its high protein and low glycemic index make it a favorable option for sustained energy and blood sugar management. The dish is cooked with minimal oil, which adds healthy fats in moderation. However, depending on the preparation, excessive use of oil or toppings can increase calories and fat content. Besan Pola is gluten-free and naturally vegetarian, making it an accessible, wholesome choice for different dietary preferences.
