I want to make pakore but I don’t have besan.. is there a substitute I can use, such as all purpose white flour? or chapatti flour instead?

Re: Besan substitute

I dont think so you can make rice from anything else except rice, same goes for pakorey. Wheat flour or plain flour cant replace the BESAN which is a chickpea ata. If you can grind channey and do some experimentation with it, that might work, but its just a suggestion have never tried it myself

You can make cabbage or mix vegetable pakoras/chinese pakoras with plain flour/maida.

Iv heard of pakoray made from all purpose flour. It should be fine. Just don't forget to add baking soda!
