Shagun Bajri Flour 1Kg is the fourth bajra on this shelf, which says something about how much of it goes out of the door. A kilo, coarse cut, Gujarati spelling. Same-day delivery across the Utrecht region.
Description
Four brands of pearl millet flour in one aisle is not an accident. The Gujarati and Rajasthani households this shop serves eat rotla through the winter, and each of them has a mill they trust.
Shagun cut theirs on the coarse side, which is what a rotla wants. The dough is made with hot water, worked hard, patted thick between wet palms and cooked slowly so the middle is done before the outside sets hard. It goes with white butter, gur, or a garlic chutney.
Which bajra should I buy of the four? Whichever your family already knows, and if none, start with a small pack. The grain is identical; the grind and the freshness on the day differ, and those are what you actually taste.
Why is rotla cooked so slowly? Because it is thick and there is no gluten holding it. A high flame sets the outside into a crust while the middle is still raw. Medium heat and patience give a rotla that is soft the whole way through.
In a smaller pack, the Chakra 500 gram bajra is the safer first buy, and Gujarati flours at Panjab Supermarket holds the jowar and ragi alongside. 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.
