Why try it?
Besan is already a popular ingredient in savoury Indian breakfasts, and combining it with unflavoured raw whey provides an easy way to increase the protein content of a familiar meal. The neutral whey flavour works well with onion, tomato, coriander and Indian spices, making it a practical alternative to consuming whey only as a shake.
