Neeti says she loves all besan-based dishes (Image: Instagram/Neeti Mohan). Comfort foods frequently bring along a dose of nostalgia—and occasionally, a hint of superstition. For singer Neeti Mohan, besan halwa serves as one such remedy. During an interview with Curly Tales, she expressed her fondness for the dish, stating, “Mujhe kuch bhi besan wala bahut pasand hai.” (I adore anything made from chickpea flour). Shakti Mohan, her sister, said it works wonders even for people with a fever or feeling unwell. Neeti responded with a sincere conviction: “Koi bhi bimari theek ho sakti hai.” (It is capable of curing any type of disease.) She also noted that, as a singer, she’s heard it can help relieve throat congestion caused by pollution—making it a preferred comfort food when sick.
