Gram Flour Chilla, also known as Besan Chilla, is a savory pancake from Indian cuisine made primarily with gram flour (chickpea flour), water, and spices. Often enriched with finely chopped vegetables like onions, tomatoes, spinach, or cilantro, it is a protein-rich, gluten-free dish that’s quick to prepare. Typically spiced with turmeric, cumin, and green chilies, it offers a flavorful and satisfying meal or snack. It is often paired with chutneys or yogurt for added taste and nutrition. Gram flour is an excellent source of plant-based protein, dietary fiber, and essential micronutrients like iron and magnesium. Additionally, the absence of refined flours makes it a wholesome option for those mindful of glycemic control. However, when fried in excessive oil, it can become calorie-dense. Opting for minimal oil or using a non-stick pan can preserve its health benefits while keeping it light and nutrient-packed.
