Besan chilla is a popular Indian savory pancake made primarily from besan, or gram flour, which is derived from ground chickpeas. It is often mixed with water to create a batter and can include various spices, herbs, and vegetables like onions, tomatoes, and spinach for added flavor and nutrition. This dish is typically cooked on a hot skillet until golden brown on both sides. Besan chilla is not only delicious but also gluten-free and high in protein, making it a nutritious option for breakfast or a snack. It is commonly served with chutney or yogurt for dipping.
