Besan Flour

Besan is made from Bengal Gram (Kala Chana, dark brown skin), not from Chickpeas (garbanzo 'beans' or Chana, cream color skin). The whole seeds are roasted lightly and milled to a flour. ... 'Chickpea flour', though a misnomer, is the accepted English name for Besan. A coarse form of black gram flour is known as Sattu.
