Besan curry is often made when there are fewer vegetables in the house or when one craves something light, tangy, or tasty.
This curry is mostly made in homes in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, but now you can make it in any home with this recipe. Besan curry is cooked by lightly roasting the gram flour, and then it’s prepared with yogurt or water, along with tempering and spices, to create a delicious gravy.
Sometimes, fritters (pakoras) are added to the curry, which enhances its taste. Besan curry is not only tasty but also quite healthy because gram flour is high in protein.
