Besan (Chickpeas Flour)
Almost every Indian kitchen has a pack of besan sitting somewhere, pakoras, kadhi, sweets, you name it. And honestly, the quality of it changes how the dish turns out more than people realize. Patlani Foods Besan comes from good quality chana that’s cleaned before it’s even milled, so what lands in your kitchen is pure gram flour, nothing cut with cheaper substitutes. Colour’s a proper natural yellow. Texture’s fine enough that it blends into batter without those annoying little lumps. Good for savoury stuff, sweets, even as a binder in cutlets.

Here's the thing about besan the quality decision gets made way before milling even starts. Patlani Foods sources chana that's been sorted and cleaned properly, husk and stray bits removed, before it goes anywhere near a grinder. That's really what separates genuine chickpea flour from the diluted stuff you sometimes find sold loose.
Texture tells you a lot, honestly. This one's ground fine and even, so it dissolves into kadhi without leaving grainy bits behind, and it mixes into pakora batter the same way. Cheaper, poorly milled besan flour tends to clump unevenly, and you only notice once it's already in the pan.
Colour stays a consistent yellow. If it looks dull or greyish, that's usually a sign the chana wasn't great to begin with, or the flour's been sitting around longer than it should. Smell-wise it's mild, a bit nutty, and that raw edge disappears once you actually cook it, leaving the flavour people expect from things like dhokla.
Where it really counts is in cooking. It binds well in mixtures, thickens kadhi without going lumpy, fries up light and crisp for pakoras instead of turning heavy or doughy. Even for something like besan ladoo, the fine grind roasts evenly in ghee, which frankly makes or breaks that sweet.
Packaging's sealed properly too, since besan picks up moisture fast if you're not careful, and that's usually what ruins a pack before its time. Sizes work fine for home use, and bulk options exist for restaurants and retailers buying regularly.
Most people notice the difference pretty quick once they switch, mainly in how smooth it blends and how the colour and taste don't shift from pack to pack.

Storage Instructions
Keep it somewhere cool and dry, away from sunlight and damp air. Once you've opened the pack, move it into an airtight container instead of leaving it as-is. Use a dry spoon, always. Do this, and it'll stay usable for a good few months without clumping or smelling off.
