Besan Ki Phulki

by Shaheen Ali

Besan ki Phulki is a typical refreshing and flavorful snack of Uttar Pradesh. It’s gluten free and makes an amazing snack option for weekend brunch parties. The dish can also be teemed up with mutter ki chaat. Though the original recipe asks for a deep fry technique, but to make it more healthier i opted for Appe Pan. Yes ! with just a few drops of oil, the phuklis get ready in no time and is a blessing to all the weight watchers like me. A good friend of mine and a very talented blogger Suchitra Kamath-Bhat who blogs at Su’s Healthy Living requested me to do a guest post for her blog this month. She wanted a healthy contribution hence the Besan Ki Phulki took a healthy turn.


The original recipe if by one of the most amazing blogger i know ,Deeba Rajpal and the recipe is adapted from one of her post at BetterButter . The recipe was quick and super tempting for me to try it for my weekend brunch. The original recipe had deep fried phulkis and as mentioned above i opted for a healthier version. The dish came out really well and was loved by my family as well.

Hi Shaheen,
I just discovered your blog with this recipe. Will definitely love to explore more from ur blog. Can’t wait to try this recipe. Can I refrigerate it overnight and have it for brunch the following day?

Hi, you can fry the phulkis and refrigerate it to use the other day, it wont make any major difference.
