Wheat Flour (Aata)

In India wheat flour has a pleasant texture and is not commonly used with baking powder as in Occident. Wheat is a cereal grass cultivated since ancestral times as one of the first cultivated crops by mankind.

Wheat Flour is used to bake parathas, an flat-style Hindi bread popular in all the nation, but atta is also base for baking other breads such as naan, roti, puri, and baati, as well as dishes and desserts such as:

• Sesame Buns
• Vada Pav (Potatoe Burger)
• Honey Whole Wheat Bread
• Skillet Cornbread with Okra Topping
• Wheat Flour Dosa (Godhuma Dosa)

Wheat was first cultivated in India, China and other Asian countries about 10,000 years ago according to evidence found by archaeologists. Today wheat is classified according its grain properties being used in cooking for different purposes.
