Nawab Barley Flour 1 KG

Description

Nawab Barley Flour 1 KG is barley ground to flour, known as jau atta. It is pale, slightly sweet and low in gluten, which is why it almost always goes into a roti alongside wheat rather than instead of it.

The usual way to use it is a quarter to a third barley in the atta tin, which gives the roti a nuttier taste and a softer crumb without making it fall apart. Barley also goes into sattu style drinks, into a thin porridge, and it is one of the grains used in ritual cooking, which is why it turns up in Indian shops far from any barley field.

Can I make a roti from barley flour alone? You can, but it will be dense and it will crack, because there is not enough gluten to hold it. Almost everyone mixes it, a quarter to a third barley to wheat atta, and that is where it tastes best anyway.

What else is it used for? A thin porridge or a summer drink in the sattu style, and as part of a mixed grain atta. It is also used in some ritual preparations, which is a separate reason it is stocked here.

Already blended for you, the Nawab multigrain atta saves the mixing, and the rest of the millet and grain flours holds the jowar, bajra and ragi. Vegetarian. Store it in a cool, dry place in a sealed container, because flour takes up damp and picks up the smell of whatever sits beside it.
