Gram flour, not to be confused with Graham flour, is also known as chana flour or besan. It is a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine, and is used in various foods such as sweets and bombay mix. It consists of ground chana dal, which is also known as Bengal grams in some localities. (Chickpeas are larger and light brown in color and are used in making items like falafel, while chana are smaller and dark brown in color.)

Vegetables deep-fried in gram flour batter are known as pakoras. When onions are fried they are known as onion bhajis.

Gram flour contains carbohydrates and hence may not be suitable for low-carbohydrate diets, but it is suitable for gluten-free diets.

It is also used as a facial exfoliant, something that is very popular in India and Pakistan, by making a paste by mixing it with water and sometimes plain yogurt as well.

In Myanmar, gram flour is used to make Burmese tofu.

Pakora is a type of Indian cuisine or Pakistani cuisine created by taking ingredients such as chicken, onion, eggplant, lentils, potato, spinach, cauliflower, tomato, and chilli, dipping them in a batter of gram flour and then deep-frying them. They are usually served as snacks or appetizers. They can be eaten as starters in restaurants. When onions are so fried they are also known as onion bhujia, or bhaji.

In Pakistan, Muslims make pakora in Iftari dinner in the holy month of Ramadan. Pakora is a common snack in Pakistan.

In the UK, (particularly Scotland), pakoras are also a popular fast food snack, and are usually purchased from Indian takeaway restaurants as an alternative to chips, curries or a kebab.

The most popular pakoras are. Palak Pakora - Delicious and healthy pakora made of spinach. Paneer Pakora - Cottage Cheese fried in gram flour. Pyaz Pakora - Onion pakora most commanly eaten
