Pulses like Bengal gram and Peas are available in puffed/ expanded form but not Horse Gram because raw Horse Gram does not give puffed or expanded product at normal moisture content and conventional puffing conditions. Studies have indicated that suitable pretreatment is necessary for expansion of Horse Gram, which is followed by HTST to give an acceptable expanded product, which can be a RTE snack as such or offer appropriate spice coating. The product is free from anti-nutritional factors and have good digestibility
