Jowar Flour

In the battle of flours, wheat flour (atta and maida) has been ruling the culinary world for years. Most of us can’t think of getting past a day without using it to create our beloved parathas, sinful cakes, cookies, breads and the like. It is a must in our grocery lists. But then what about the not-so-popular flours? Are they incapable of creating tempting dishes or matching up to the abilities of atta and maida? The truth is – of course not! Flours like ragi, jowar and bajra are not only healthy and gluten-free alternatives to the wheat variants but can be used to create some stellar dishes. All you need to do is get accustomed to them by experimenting a little in the kitchen, and you are guaranteed to be in for a big surprise.  Discovering Jowar FlourWhen it comes to millets, jowar is one the first few ones that come to mind. That’s because it is relatively common in Indian households, especially in the western and central parts of India where it is used in making wholesome rotis, which have the ability to keep you from feeling hungry for a long time and make you feel active as well. Such is the power of millets!Jowar or sorghum is a hardy crop. The grains are often boiled or steamed and used in making porridges and soups, or milled into flour, which are then used in making a number of preparations. Unlike wheat flour, it lacks elasticity aka gluten. So while making rotis, one often uses the palm of his or her hands to give them shape before tossing them onto the hot tawa. Or, it can be mixed with other flours to make pooris, muthias (Gujarati steamed dumplings), khakra, thalipeeth (Maharashtrian spiced pancakes), and paranthas; and even cakes, cookies and breads. Since it lacks gluten, it gets a little tricky to use it, but as you discover more and more about its capabilities, you will be able to create a lip-smacking range of treats, even gluten-free ones.(New Diet Mantra: Dietary Fibre from Various Food Sources Could be More Beneficial) lip-smacking range of treats,

  When offering any food to deities its better to make rice flour at home instead of using store brought rice flour. In this post,   I am sharing how I make rice flour at home . I had made this rice flour to make murukku for Diwali. So I thought I will take pics and share the method. You can use any quantity of rice . smaller quantities can be ground in a mixer-grinder, but for large quantities give in a grinding mill (chakki). One of my readers had informed me that  For South Indian snacks a type of rice called as IR 20 raw rice is used . this rice is easily available in Tamil Nadu. But not in other parts of India. Where I live IR 20 raw rice is not available. So  I have used sona masuri rice to make the flour . if you live in Tamil Nadu, then you can use IR 20 raw rice. If you do not get IR 20 raw rice, then use any short to medium grained regular rice.
