Millets contain no gluten by nature, so millet flour is the usual Indian answer to “gluten-free flour for roti”. We sell seven, each made from a single unpolished millet. One honest caution before you buy: we have not had our flours tested for gluten.
Gluten is a protein in wheat, barley and rye. Millets such as jowar, bajra, ragi, foxtail, little millet and barnyard millet do not contain it. But flour can pick up traces of wheat where grains are handled, stored or milled together, and only a test can show how much. Our flours come to us ready-made and have not been tested.

Without gluten, doughs do not stretch, so millet rotis are patted out or rolled between two sheets, and kneaded with hot water in small batches. For baking, millet flours are usually mixed with each other and with a binder such as mashed banana, curd or flax. Millet atta for roti has the kneading method step by step.
Our millet flours are made from unpolished millets: the grain’s bran layer has not been polished away. No pesticides or chemicals used: the farmers who grow the millet do not use pesticides, and we do not fumigate or chemically treat our stock. Use them within about three months, kept airtight, cool and dry. Free delivery in Bangalore · Ships across India in 2–10 business days (charges at checkout).
