gram flour

Ground garbanzo legumes

Gram flour is flour made from ground chickpeas, widely used in South Asian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean cooking.

It has a slightly nutty flavor and works well for batters, flatbreads, and as a thickener.

Also called chickpea flour or besan: The pakoras were coated in a spiced gram flour batter.
