ReplyDeleteThanks for liking d recipe Rafi Khan. Besan flour is Kadalai maavu in tamil. Also it has other names as chickpea flour, gram flour, chana dal flour, garbanzo bean flour.
ReplyDeleteAnd hing is commonly referred as asafoetida powder, perungayam powder in tamil, also known as Devil's Dung as it the world's smelliest spice. Do try n enjoy..!
