Crispy Besan French Fries Recipe – Healthy & Delicious Snack
Share
Looking for a delicious yet healthy snack option? Try Besan French Fries – a crispy and nutritious alternative to regular potato fries. Made using gram flour (besan) and just a touch of oil, these fries are not deep-fried but lightly pan-fried or air-fried, making them a healthier option for both kids and adults. They're ideal for tea-time treats, tiffin boxes, or as an easy-to-make appetizer for sudden guests.
What sets Besan French Fries apart is their light, crunchy texture and the rich, earthy flavor of gram flour. Season them with your favorite spices or herbs and serve with tangy mint chutney, ketchup, or a garlic mayo dip for that perfect bite. These fries are protein-rich, gluten-free, and surprisingly filling.
