Retail – East End DESI MAKKI ATTA 1.5kg

Description

East End Desi Makki Atta 1.5kg for golden, homestyle maize flatbreads

Ground from whole maize, this is the traditional flour behind makki di roti and other rustic corn breads. E.E. stands for East End Foods, the Birmingham miller that has supplied South Asian kitchens since 1972. The 1.5kg bag is a retail size that keeps a busy household or a small kitchen going through plenty of baking sessions.

Key Features

• Milled from maize (corn) for a naturally sweet flavour and warm golden colour
• 1.5kg pack gives good value for regular roti making and batch cooking
• A cornerstone of Punjabi cooking, most famously paired with sarson ka saag
• Maize contains no gluten by nature, though see the allergen note below

Cooking and Uses: Mix with warm water and a pinch of salt to form a soft dough, then pat into flatbreads by hand and cook on a hot tawa with a little ghee. Many cooks blend it with a little wheat atta for easier rolling.

Storage

Keep in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container to keep it fresh and protected from moisture.
