Wheat is a staple ingredient in most Indian cuisines. When you think of pooris, chapatis, parathas, or cheela, it is the common thread that ties all these food items together.
As much as people love to eat whole wheat, there is a shift in thinking, and multigrain Atta is taking over old traditions. Filled with six grains’ richness and goodness, it will surely become your family’s favorite.
My family consists of my 90+ years old grandfather-in-law, my aged in-laws; both nearing 65 years of age, my husband, I, and my three-year-old toddler who is always oozing with energy and mischief! Like many other North Indian households, chapati for us has always been synonymous with whole wheat. Breakfast was never complete without paranthas loaded with white butter, and lunch and dinner were sumptuous only with fluffy rotis made from whole wheat that was sourced directly from our farms.
With such a varied age group of family members, it was always difficult to maintain the taste and health of all individuals at the same time. All of them had their preferences and being a mother of a little one, I was always found struggling to make him eat!
Do you know you can get 135 calories by eating just one multigrain roti? And one multigrain roti provides 7 percent of the total daily calorie requirement.
Eventually as health concerns grew and became the biggest priority after the onset of Covid, the entire family decided to shift towards healthier options of food in daily diets. The age-old practice of consuming whole wheat that ran in my family for more than five decades came to an end. Thanks to Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains!
While each flour has its qualities, Aashirvaad Atta with Multigrains combines it all for an added nutritional boost!
