Shree Krishna Premium Steamed Wheat Flour 1kg

 

Steamed wheat flour, or Steamed Atta, is wheat flour that has undergone a special steaming process before being milled. This preparation method gives the flour unique characteristics compared to regular whole wheat flour (Atta) or all-purpose flour (Maida).

 

 

Key Features and Benefits:

 

  • Soft and Fine Texture: The steaming process helps to condition the wheat grain, resulting in an exceptionally fine, soft, and light flour. This quality is crucial for a smooth batter and a final product without lumps.

  • Easy to Digest: Some sources suggest that steaming the wheat can make the flour lighter and easier for the body to digest.

     

  • Versatile for Traditional Dishes: It is specifically designed to create high-quality, authentic textures in certain traditional foods.

  • Nutritional Value: As it is a wheat flour, it provides carbohydrates, and likely retains some of the fiber and nutrients found in the whole grain.

 

Culinary Uses:

 

Steamed wheat flour is highly favored for making specific South Indian and Sri Lankan delicacies. Its unique texture is ideal for:

 

  • Idiyappam (String Hoppers): It is a top choice for making the soft, delicate, and non-sticky rice flour noodles (string hoppers). The steamed quality ensures the dough has the right consistency.

  • Puttu: A steamed breakfast dish from Kerala and Sri Lanka, often made with layers of steamed rice/wheat flour and coconut. Steamed wheat flour is used to achieve the correct soft, crumbly consistency.

     

  • Other Breads and Snacks: It can also be used in various other recipes, including soft chapati, dosa batters, and for preparing certain sweets and snacks, where a very fine, smooth flour is required.

     

In summary, the Shree Krishna Premium Steamed Wheat Flour 1kg is a specialized, fine-textured flour that is a pantry essential for those looking to create authentic, soft, and lump-free traditional South Indian dishes like Idiyappam and Puttu.
