Besan is actually very good as it has folate and protein, which are so important for your little miracle. Just make sure you cook it well and don't eat too much fried stuff like pakoras. Sending you so much love and positive energy!
I have heard from my mother that besan is really nutritious because of the folate in it. I often make simple besan chilla for breakfast these days as we are trying to conceive. It is very light and healthy.
Besan is great naturally because it is rich in folate and iron. Try having a homemade besan chilla with veggies. But if you get bad gas or bloating from it, drink some ajwain water, and if the discomfort is severe, do ask your doctor.
In our house, my saas always makes soft besan chilla for me in the morning because it is high in protein. She says it's very healthy for the baby, but cautions against heavy laddoos. It really kept my energy levels up!
Yes, besan is perfectly fine and a great source of protein. Just don't overdo the fried items like heavy bhajjis, as they will give you terrible acidity. Keep it simple with besan chilla or kadhi.
