What is Multigrain Atta ?

Multigrain Atta is a unique blend of various and wholesome grains that are ground to mix with whole grain flour. People these days are choosing Multigrain Atta over whole grain Atta because it provides more benefits.

It contains flour made up with a mix of different kinds of grains. Most commonly used grains in a Multigrain Atta are oats, millet, flax (linseed), buckwheat, soybean, Amaranth grain, Jowar, barley (millet), Bajra, Ragi, and Maize. Amaranth grain contains higher Proteins. People who are allergic to flour also like this grain because it is gluten-free. Barley contains a bountiful amount of Potassium and Fibre. It releases starch into Chapatis. Oats are gaining popularity among people because of its health benefits. It also contains rich fibre and makes the Chapattis softer. Bajre ki Roti is famous among Northern India because of its rich protein factor, whereas Makke Ki Roti is a popular bread from Punjabi cuisine. Other grains like Ragi and Jowar are also gluten-free and full of carbs, do check our recipe to make Ragi Roti commonly known as Nachini Ki Roti

Since Multigrain Roti have a slight dense texture, hence it is advisible to smear them with Ghee before serving. This not only increases the nutrition, but brings in some moistness too.

How to make Multigrain Roti

Making Multigrain Roti at home is easy and the real trick lies in making a Perfect Muligrain Dough which you would excel in 1 or 2 trials for sure. Here we are giving you recipe to make a small batch of Multigrain Atta, you can double or triple the recipe as per your requirement.

Making Multigrain Flour & Dough -

Take a large mixing bowl and combine together all the 5 flours. Mix well with a spoon to combine well.
Keep the required amount of flour in the bowl and store remaining in a clean jar for further use.
Now knead flour with using luke warm water little by little. Multigrain flour has the tendency to release water after sometime, hence make a ‘Stiff Dough’.
Cover it with a lid or plate and keep to rest for 10 minutes. After resting knead it once again to bring in softness.

Making Multigrain Rotis -

Divide the prepared dough in equal lemon size balls. Dust with dry flour and roll into a circle the same way as you roll regular Rotis, but slight thicker.
Carefully place on a hot pan or skillet and when you notice little brown spots appear on the botton side, turn it and cook for half a minute.
Now very carefully lift it up with tongs and cook on open flame on both the sides.
Multigrain Roti is now ready. Smear with ghee and serve.

Note -

Use ‘Mitti Ka Tawa’ or Clay Pan to cook these Rotis. This would give you a perfect rustic texture. Refer snaps, we did the same!
