Wikipedia

Gram flour is a flour made from ground chickpeas. It is also known as chana flour (Indian), besan (Hindi), kadala maavu (Tamil), "Senaga Pindi" (Telugu), kadale hittu (Kannada), chickpea flour and garbanzo flour (Spanish). Used in many countries, it is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, and, in the form of a paste with water or yoghurt, a popular facial exfoliant in India and Pakistan. Gram flour contains a high proportion of carbohydrates but no gluten.

Although pronounced similarly in American English, gram flour is unrelated to graham flour.

Dishes

In India and other parts of South Asia the flour is used to make Bombay mix, Burmese tofu, pakoras, papadums and onion bhajis. It is used in Italian cuisine to make farinata and in French cuisine to make socca.
