What are different varieties of Besan?
The roasted Desi Chana is milled for various grades of coarseness from very fine like Maida (All-purpose flour) to gritty like Sooji (Farina). Professional cooks in India may use up to five different grades of coarseness of Besan. Fine or Superfine is the most common grade used at home as an Atta to make Missy Roti, or Cheela. You need grittier grades to make Laddoo, or Halwa.
