Makai Flour Yellow — Yellow Corn Flour (Makki di Atta) | 4 lb
Makai Flour (makki di atta / yellow corn flour) is a coarsely ground flour made from dried yellow maize. A beloved staple in Punjabi winter cooking, it is best known as the key ingredient in the iconic Makki di Roti — the classic flatbread traditionally served with Sarson da Saag. The coarse grind gives the roti its characteristic dense, slightly grainy texture and golden colour. Naturally gluten-free.
Culinary Uses:
- Makki di roti — the classic Punjabi winter flatbread, best made fresh and served hot with butter or ghee
- Sarson da saag pairing — the ultimate Punjabi winter comfort meal
- Corn porridge and maize-based dishes
- Thickening agent for soups, stews, and gravies
- Traditional festival and winter recipes
- Gluten-free flatbreads and rotis
How to Make Makki di Roti: Mix makai flour with warm water and a pinch of salt into a soft dough. Shape into thick rounds by hand (it doesn’t roll easily like wheat dough). Cook on a hot tawa with ghee or butter on both sides until golden and cooked through. Serve immediately — makki roti is best eaten fresh and hot.
