Homemade Multigrain Atta

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

The ingredients listed can be modified according to your preference too.Check my notes for more variations.

Homemade Multigrain Atta Recipe

Homemade Multigrain Atta Recipe – Ingredients

Preparation Time : 1 day | Processing Time : 10 mins | Makes : 2.5 kgs
Recipe Category: Homemade Flour | Recipe Cuisine: Indian

Whole Wheat(Punjab Gothumai) – 2 kg
Oats – 100 gms
Maize – 100 gms
Ragi – 50 gms
Chana Dal – 100 gms
Soya Bean – 50 gms

Note : 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.

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.

Serve hot with a generous serving of ghee, heaven I say 🙂

Homemade Multigrain Atta

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.

    Wow Sharmi,

    Imagine 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!

    You can try the same without channa dal and maize especially those who are conscious of weight. Don't sieve the flour. The rotis still comes out very soft and tasty.

    Hi Sharmila, could you please clarify if the washing process is a must or I can just mix the grains and give it to the mill to powder them? Could you explain the reason behind washing them apart from getting rid of the impurities? or does it make them soft?

    Regards,
    Sindhu

      No its just to be overcautious of cleaning the dirt….If you are confident that it is clean you can go ahead giving to mill without washing…no harm in it

    Thanks Sharmi, it came out very well!!! The rotis are ssooo soft :-). I used barley instead of ragi as I didn't have it. But it indeed came out good. Rotis remain soft till evening.

    Hello Sharmiji, thank you very much for this wonderful recipie, it has really haelped my 5 year old daughter who becomes a cranky child when it comes to having food. She never drinks milk or havy any kind of vegetables. her basic food is Dal roti or Dal rice. Atleast with this multigrain chapati we are satisfied that the multi vitamins reach her body and she benifits with it. Thanks again, also share any other ideas if you have for such cases .

    When i think about chakki atta, the first dish come to my mind is chappathy..i hope almost all you have the same feelig..Chapathi was a favourite dish in the Northern Part of India but today South Indians are also in love with this Indian flat bread. But soft and fluffy chappathis can be made only from the best chakki atta. Surabhi Atta is rich in nutrients and vitamins and clear of impurities and adulterants, which makes Surabhi Atta the best Chakki fresh Atta in Kerala.“Surabhi” Maida, Rava and chakki Atta contain natural ingredients, essential vitamins and minerals necessary to provide 100% nutritional and a balanced diet.

    Thanks for the recipe. Turned out really well and tasty. Is it compulsory to sieve the flour after grinding in mill. I am using as such and it seems to be fine.
    I dry roasted all the grains except wheat. Real nice flavour! Thank you !

    Hi, Sharmilee.

    Thanks for the recipe. I am looking forward to making it.

    I have four questions. First, is there a limit to the number of different types of grains to add to the wheat to make multigrain atta? Second, how do you determine the quantity of each grain to add? Third, can this multigrain atta be used to make all types of bread – sandwich/loaf bread and baguettes/French bread as well? Finally, what is the average size of roti/chappati that women usually prepare? I ordered an 8 inch roti press before finding your recipe and website.

    I really appreciate this recipe for those of us who like the idea of preparing things from scratch, or homemade, as much as possible.

    Best regards,
    Cassandra

      1.I guess its personal choice but the taste and texture differs accordingly so this is my tried and gotot recipe for multigrain atta.
      2.Use weighing scale or while buying buy small packs measuring the quantity you want.
      3.yes you can
      4.8 inch should be good to go
