Directions:
Gram flour, besan, or chickpea flour, is a pulse flour made from a variety of ground chickpeas known as Bengal gram. It is a staple ingredient in the cuisine of the Indian subcontinent, including in Indian, Bangladeshi, Burmese, Nepali, Pakistani and Sri Lankan cuisines. Gram flour can be made from either raw or roasted chickpeas. The roasted variety is more flavourful, while the raw variety has a slightly bitter taste.
Using a high powered blender blend the chickpeas (garbanzo beans) for roughly 2 minutes until fine and the consistency of flour.
Sieve the chickpea flour to remove any lumps and discard any large pieces left behind.
Store in a labeled airtight container for 8 weeks or even in the fridge.
