What it is

Aashirvaad was launched in 2002 and is owned by ITC Limited; its packs carry Madhubani-style art of rural farming scenes. The besan inside is milled from chana dal, and this is the larger 2 kg bag.

It is the bag for festival season, when Mysore pak and besan laddu are made by the tray and there is a pot of pakoda for every visitor. Roasted slowly in ghee, besan turns from raw to nutty and golden, and that is when sweets are ready for the sugar. Choosing between? This 2 kg bag for festival cooking; the 1 kg for everyday bajji; Aachi bajji bonda powder for a ready-spiced batter.

Tip: Roast the besan for Mysore pak on the lowest flame and keep stirring. It is ready when the raw smell turns nutty.

Goes well with: GRB Pure Cow's Milk Ghee, Swaad Green Cardamom, LG Asafoetida (Hing) Cake

Bengal gram (chana dal) flour.
