Every time I see pillsbury multigrain ad,I always wonder how to make multigrain atta at home. And last month gave a try and I was completely satisfied with the results and here goes the recipe... Do check out my how to post on making soft phulkas here.
Homemade Multigrain Atta Recipe - Ingredients
Whole Wheat(Punjab Gothumai) - 2 kg
Oats - 100 gms
Maize - 100 gms
Ragi - 50 gms
Chana Dal - 100 gms
Soya Bean - 50 gms
- If you want cup measures you can have a ratio of 2.5 cups(wheat) : 1 cup(multigrains)
- We usually grind punjab whole wheat and samba wheat together in the ratio 2:1 for normal chapathi flour.
Multigrains - Ragi, Channa Dal, Soya, Oats, Maize and Whole wheat
Method:
1.Wash all the grains well and let it dry in sunshade for at least for a day till it is completely dry. Then give it for grinding, I gave it to the mill.
2.Allow it to cool for sometime.Sieve it twice and discard the coarse mixture that is retained. while sieving Store in airtight container.
My Notes:
- Dry the multigrains completely before giving it to grind.
- Dont add more ragi and soya than the quantity mentioned else it will give a raw taste and ragi will change the color too.
- You can even roast the multigrains(except whole wheat) till a nice aroma rises. Then combine with wheat and give to grind though I havent tried it personally.
- You can even add barley and other grains as per your preference.

ReplyDeleteI have been waiting for this post from you. Thanks for sharing, will try it.
ReplyDeleteVery healthy and thanks for sharing.My mom used to mix only soya with wheat.
ReplyDeletei have been wanting to make multi grain atta from long. but then out of laziness i just end up buying organic multi grain atta everytime. the little flags look cute.
ReplyDeleteWow Sharmi,
ReplyDeleteImagine making your own multi grain atta. You know that you are selecting the best ingredients and not having anything other that whats nutritious. I think its really a great idea! In those days all mothers used to make their own atta, but now with so many easy products crowding the market, no one has the time. Many wheat flours have the label "Durum Wheat" but definitely has a lot of maida and other things mixed in! Lovely composition!

I remember my Grandma grinding the wheat in the mill for chapatis. I do not have the luxury here and stick with store bought flour :)
