East End Chakki Atta

Chakki Atta, also known as Indian wheat flour, is renowned for its versatility and is especially prized for making traditional flatbreads such as roti, naan, chapati, and puri. This flour is distinguished by its high gluten and protein content, which impart elasticity to the dough, allowing flatbreads to rise well and achieve a fluffy and soft texture.

Ingredients and Processing:

• Indian Wheat: Chakki Atta is made from finely ground whole wheat grains, known for their robust flavor and nutritional benefits.
• Stone Grinding: Traditionally, Chakki Atta is stone-ground, preserving the grain's natural nutrients and ensuring a coarse texture that enhances the quality of flatbreads.

Culinary Uses:

• Flatbreads: Ideal for preparing a variety of flatbreads integral to Indian cuisine. Roti, a staple unleavened bread, is made by kneading Chakki Atta with water and then cooking on a hot griddle.
• Naan and Chapati: Used to make naan, a leavened bread typically cooked in a tandoor, and chapati, a thin unleavened bread that accompanies many Indian dishes.
• Puri: Used in making puri, a deep-fried bread that puffs up beautifully due to the dough's elasticity when fried.

Characteristics:

• High Gluten Content: Chakki Atta's high gluten content provides elasticity to the dough, enabling it to stretch and rise during cooking, resulting in light and airy flatbreads.
• Nutritional Value: It retains the natural goodness of whole wheat, including fiber, vitamins, and minerals essential for a balanced diet.

Packaging Options:
