I love dishes made with besan, like pakoras and cheela. Is it safe to eat besan during pregnancy, or should I try to avoid it? I want to make sure I'm eating safely.
Yes, you can surely eat it. When I was pregnant, I felt so much craving for besan chilla in the mornings, and it was so comforting and healthy. Just don't overeat it as it can sometimes cause mild bloating.
Besan is a great, budget-friendly source of protein and folate during pregnancy. Making besan chilla at home is way cheaper and healthier than buying expensive protein powders or outside snacks.
Of course you can! I'm in my 3rd trimester and currently surviving on besan laddoos made by my MIL. Just be ready for some extra gas, but hey, that's pregnancy for you!
I also panicked and googled if besan is safe when I first got pregnant! But my doctor reassured me it's completely normal and healthy. It's just roasted chickpea flour, so enjoy your chilla without stress.
Haan na, besan is totally fine and actually has good protein. I used to make warm besan ka sheera when I had a cold. Just eat it fresh and home-made, ho na.
Having PCOS made me super cautious about my diet during pregnancy. Besan is actually a great low-glycemic, high-protein option compared to maida. Just cook it with less oil and monitor how your stomach feels.
Actually besan is super safe yaar. I used to have hot besan chilla or pakoras when it rained. Just don't fry it too much to avoid acidity, otherwise it's totally healthy.
Yes, absolutely safe. It is rich in protein and iron which you need right now. Just balance it with some veggies and avoid heavily fried stuff to keep digestion smooth.
