FAQ
- Moong flour vs. besan: Moong flour is made from moong/mung beans (green gram); besan is from chana dal (split chickpeas). Moong flour tastes lighter and yields pale-golden batters.
- Do I need to ferment for cheela? No—cheela is typically instant. For dosa-style crepes, you can ferment for extra tang, but it’s optional.
- Is this suitable for gluten-free cooking? Moong beans are naturally gluten-free; if you need certified gluten-free, please check the packaging.
