| Gram flour is a flour made from ground chana dal, a legume otherwise known as chickpeas. It is also known as besan (Hindi), kadala maavu (Tamil, Malayalam), "Senaga Pindi" (Telugu), kadale hittu (Kannada). Used in many countries, it is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, and in the form of a paste with water or yoghurt, a popular facial exfoliant in India and Pakistan. Moreover, when mixed with an equal proportion of water, can be used as an egg-replacer in vegan cooking. Gram flour contains a high proportion of carbohydrates but no gluten. Though it has no gluten, in comparison to other flours gram flour has a relatively high proportion of protein. Although pronounced similarly in American English, gram flour is unrelated to graham flour. In South and Southeast Asia the flour is used to make pakoras, papadums, and onion bhajis, Burmese tofu, and jidou liangfen. It is used in Italian cuisine to make farinata and in French cuisine to make socca. If parboiled potatoes are rolled in the flour prior to roasting they take on a golden colour and a crisp texture. |
