Besan Puda is a perfect quick and easy to make item. This with the combination of with Spring Onions which provide the color, the crunch and the subtle flavor is a match made in heaven. Besan (aka Chickpea flour) is known to provide warmth to the body which is perfect for rainy or colder days. The Rice Flour in the recipe gives the Puda a great crispy texture and makes sure the Puda does not get soggy or limp. The Semolina is such a great addition that helps in making it easy to digest. Throw it together and make little Pudas and serve them as cute little appetizers or make bigger ones and have them as a meal. This Savory Pancake is a favorite as a brunch in our homes.
