What can I make with SHREEJI Besan Flour?

Besan (chickpea) flour is used across cuisines for batters, flatbreads, sweets and thickening sauces. Its nutty flavor and fine texture make it a staple for falafel-style fritters, pakoras, socca, besan laddoo and as a binding agent in recipes that need structure without gluten.

• Savory batters for fritters, pakoras and onion bhajis
• Gluten-free flatbreads and socca-style pancakes
• Thickening soups, stews and curries without altering taste
• Sweets like besan laddoo and traditional confectionery

How should I store and use the 1.81 Kg bag?

To preserve flavor and prevent moisture absorption, transfer the flour to a clean, airtight container and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Use within a few months for best quality; refrigeration extends shelf life in warm or humid climates.

• Move to an airtight jar or food-grade container after opening
• Keep in a pantry or fridge to avoid humidity and rancidity
• Measure with dry-cup technique for consistent baking results

Is SHREEJI Besan Flour suitable for special diets?

Chickpea flour is naturally gluten-free and higher in protein and fiber than many grain flours, making it a common choice for gluten-free or higher-protein cooking. However, the product is made in a facility that processes other allergens, so it may not be suitable for people with severe peanut, tree-nut or other cross-contact allergies.

• Good option for gluten-free recipes when cross-contact is not a concern
• Provides plant-based protein and fiber for vegetarian and vegan diets
• Check allergen considerations due to shared processing facility

How does SHREEJI Besan perform in batters and baking?

Besan gives batters a crisp exterior and a tender interior when fried, and contributes a rich, slightly nutty crumb in baked goods. When replacing wheat flour, combine with a binder or blend with other gluten-free flours for optimal texture.

• Creates crisp, golden coatings for deep- and shallow-frying
• Adds structure and moisture to gluten-free cakes and breads
• Mix with water, spices and baking agents for consistent batter results

Who is this for: SHREEJI Besan Flour 1.81 Kg is aimed at home cooks, bakers and small restaurants who want a reliable, large-format supply of chickpea flour for Indian, Mediterranean and gluten-free cooking. It suits anyone looking for a versatile, plant-based pantry staple—provided they can accommodate the shared-facility allergen handling noted on the packaging.
