I think it depends on what part of India you are from. I went in search of "besan" the other day and couldn't find any in the Indian shop which was a bit weird. The store owner pointed me to the "coarse chana flour" which got us into a whole conversation as my mum only used "fine chickpea flour"! @L Tolich Glad you enjoyed it and hope you try the recipe! I'm sure I could rustle up a aloo & gobi sabzi (potato & cauliflower dish)or something. Do you have a favourite Indian dish? @R Briggs Yes chickpea flour is also known as “besan”, “gram flour” and “chana flour”….and there’s probably another name I don’t know about yet.

I am looking forward to your next blog post, particularly if it contains another Indian, vegetarian dish! The image of the tray of pakoras and your recollections are making my mouth water.

Tell me, is chickpea flour also called "besan". I have a sack of it at home and don't know what to do with it. Thanks for posting this. What a great recipe and reminiscence.
