What is this Myanmar legume flour? It reminded me of Chickpea flour in behavior but was clearly different, it might be Pigeon Pea flour. What is it actually?

  • Welcome to SA! It might also help if you can show a picture of the flour, or describe why/how you got it.

  • Hello @FuzzyChef I finished all that flour ; I don't recognize how I got it matters to an answerer. Jun 29, 2021 at 18:45
  • I don't know if this is what you've got, but one famous Myanmar dish is "tofu" made from chickpea flour. If this flour looks like chickpea flour, it's a good bet that's what it is.

    @puertoportopoio You really wouldn't enjoy the information they ask you to give when you want something identified over at SciFi, then scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/9335/… 🤣 I hope you get what you're looking for.

    Here it's a matter of someone who can read Burmese, as we all don't hopefully someone here can or can ask a relative. Jun 30, 2021 at 8:12

This appears to be some kind of chickpea flour. According to Google Translate, the Burmese word for chickpea is ကုလားပဲ, which matches the label. Here is a similar product, “roasted chickpea flour”, for label comparison for sale:

Roasted chickpea powder

  • Thanks, what you say feels true for me also because in the Burmese cuisine, it is common to roast and fry legumes, more than in any cuisine I have ever known. Thanks, Jul 2, 2021 at 10:52
  • A similar flour is called sattu or saatu in South Asia.
