Gram flour (1kg)

Nutty. Savoury. Naturally gluten free.

Also known as besan or chickpea flour, gram flour is made from finely milled chickpeas and is a staple ingredient in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. It has a distinctive nutty, savoury flavour and naturally creamy-yellow colour, making it as useful for its flavour as it is for its functionality.

When mixed with liquid, gram flour forms a naturally cohesive batter, making it particularly useful for bhajis, pakoras and fritters. It also develops a beautifully savoury, golden finish when cooked.

What does gram flour do?

• Creates cohesive batters – helps bind ingredients together without gluten.
• Adds body – useful for fritters, pancakes and savoury bakes.
• Brings flavour – its characteristic chickpea flavour adds depth to savoury recipes.
• Encourages browning – contributes to a golden, well-cooked exterior.
• Works with water alone – develops into a smooth batter without needing eggs or other binders.

More than just bhajis

Gram flour is incredibly versatile. Use it to make bhajis, pakoras, fritters and socca, or explore it in savoury pancakes, flatbreads, batters, crackers and gluten free baking.

For a simple Mediterranean-style socca or farinata, mix gram flour with water, olive oil and salt, then bake until golden and crisp around the edges.

A genuinely useful gluten free flour when you want binding, body and distinctive chickpea flavour in the same ingredient.
