Why We Like It
- No maida, no dough improver, no added gluten.
- Six ingredients, all named, where 'multigrain' usually appears with no breakdown at all.
- 14.8 g of fibre per 100 g, boosted with psyllium rather than left to the grains alone.
Ingredients
Organic wheat
First by weight, so this is a wheat-based atta with other flours worked inWhich is what almost every multigrain flour is.
Organic soya
A legume rather than a grainIt lifts the protein figure, and it is a declared allergen.
Organic jowar and organic maize
NoteThe two other actual grains in the blend, both naturally gluten-free on their own.
Organic psyllium husk
Not a grainIt is isabgol, a seed husk sold on its own as a fibre supplement. It is the main reason the fibre figure reaches 14.8 g, and it makes the dough thirstier.
Organic channa dal
NoteA second legume, adding protein and a faintly nutty taste.
No maida, additive or improver
No refined wheat flour, no dough conditioner, no preservative and no added glutenAll of which turn up in commercial multigrain attas.

Is It For You?
Good for
Everyday rotis, chapatis and parathas
Anyone stepping away from plain refined atta
Thepla, puri and stuffed breads
Households wanting more fibre without switching to pure millet flours
Avoid if
Anyone coeliac or gluten-sensitive, for the wheat-based flours in this range
How to use
Knead with slightly more water than plain atta; the psyllium husk drinks it up
Rest the dough fifteen to twenty minutes before rolling, and expect it to stiffen as it sits
Roll a little thicker than wheat rotis and cook on a hot tawa
Blend half and half with plain atta if the household is used to softer rotis
What to look for in Multigrain Flour?
Maida is the cheapest filler in any atta. If it appears on the ingredient list at all, part of what you are paying for is refined flour.
Stone-ground (chakki) flour keeps the germ and bran. Roller-milled flour usually does not. The pack should say which.
Unbleached flour is off-white and slightly uneven. A bright, uniform white usually means bleaching or heavy refining.
Whole flours go rancid faster because the germ is still in there. Buy a size you will finish in a couple of months.
