Ingredients

gram flour

Gram flour, also called chickpea flour is used in many Indian recipes and is made from the ground chickpea, called chana dal in Hindi. The flour has a higher protein content than many flours milled from grain. A creamy yellow is a notable aspect of gram flour, which has a fine and soft texture. Gram flour is used to make desserts, breads and crackers. Chickpea flour can be found in other cuisines, including an Italian flatbread called socca.

baking soda

Baking soda is a crucial component in non-yeasted baked goods and acts as an instant leavener with the acids in the batter. It is used for cakes, quick breads and many flour-based baked goods. Baking soda is a fine white powder with a salty and bitter taste.

salt

Salt is a mineral composed mostly of sodium chloride. It is the main flavoring used in food and is naturally occurring in certain foods, such as cheese, beets, meat and celery, plus many others. Salt is white and has finer granules than sugar. Many commercial salts include iodide, while others exclude it. Most salts are white, while some are naturally pale pink with minerals. Salt brings out the flavor of something and can create a tangy mouthfeel, if used in excess.
