Bengal gram flour “besan†is the base for several traditional deep-fried sweet and savoury products. The traditional producers of these products recognize that some of these products need a particular type of flour and hence look for specific types of besan for the preparation of different products, though this is generally not available. Generally besan is prepared by grinding Bengal gram dhal in commercial units like plate mill, burr type stone mill or hammer mill (by adjusting the machine parameters like speed and clearance between grinding plates)
