Gluten free gram flour Milled from naturally gluten and wheat free gram or chana dhal, a kind of small chickpea, this fine pale yellow flour is used to make onion bhajias and other Middle Eastern or Indian dishes. Sometimes called besan flour, it is useful for thickening sauces. Gram, or chana dhal is a member of the chickpea family and is most commonly used in recipes throughout the Indian subcontinent and Middle East. Often known as besan, it is a large, split skinned pea which we mill finely to create this rich yellow flour. It is best used in fritters, pancakes or traditional Indian dishes and can be used as a vegan egg substitute if mixed with equal quantities of water.
