So why not look at healthier alternatives to plain flour or maida? And if you are willing to try something new, how about starting with brownie made of besan or chickpea flour.

Here’s a simple recipe from chef Shivesh Bhatia that you can try at home.

He said, “You would not be able to taste the chickpeas. These brownies are fudgy, rich, decadent and delicious. They’re completely gluten-free and refined sugar-free.”
