How to make Chickpea Flour (Besan)

Step 1

Add the dried chickpeas to a grain mill and set to fine setting. Turn on the machine to get the finely ground chickpea flour.

Step 2

If using a high-powered blender, add the chickpeas and turn on. Increase the speed to the machine's maximum. Blend until the chickpeas have ground as finely as possible.

Step 3

Using a fine mesh sieve, sift the flour into a bowl to separate any large bits. Return these hard bits back to the blender and process again. You may need to repeat this step to get all pieces finely ground.

Step 4

Use the freshly flour or store in an airtight container in a cool dry place.
