Description

Sher Atta is a white whole wheat flour that contains the nutrient-rich germ and the fibre-rich bran. It is much healthier than all-purpose flour; it bakes and tastes better as well.  In comparison to regular whole wheat flour that is made from red wheat, Sher Atta ingredients consist of a naturally occurring albino variety of wheat, which is lighter in colour and has a sweeter, milder flavour. You can bake the Sher Flour to make rotis or fry it for parathas.

Atta- 1 cup 

Cardamom powder- ¼ tsp 

Sugar (white or brown)- 1 cup 

Water- 3 cup

Method

  • Roast by stirring continuously on a low-medium flame.
  • The mixture will start to turn golden and aromatic after 12-14 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes, the mixture will turn dark golden brown. This indicates that wheat flour has cooked. Keep it aside.

  • Stir the mixture well so that sugar dissolves. Let it boil for 2 minutes. 
  • Slowly, pour the hot sugar syrup over cooked wheat mixture stirring continuously.

  • Keep cooking for 5 minutes while stirring continuously so that no lumps are formed.
  • Next, add cardamom powder. Mix well. You can also top up with saffron strands and sliced almonds and pistachios.
  • Relish the flavorsome Atta halwa. 

How is Atta obtained?

Stone mills were commonly used to grind wheat, Chana, Jowar, and Bajra in ancient times. This process retained the richness and fibrous nature of these edibles. But, it was both time-consuming and tiring.

 However, with the advent of automation, today Atta is obtained by grinding the wheat kernels (also called wheatberry) in electric machines. Most of these machines are modern and retain the nutritional value of wheat. Nutritionists strongly recommend using whole wheat Atta as it is fibrous and healthy.

 

The multifold benefits of Atta 

  • Protects against obesity, cancer, and diabetes- According to scientific studies, whole grains protect against many diseases. Atta is derived from whole wheat and has a high fiber content. The wheat bran is also rich in nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that have anti-oxidative and anti-carcinogenic properties.
  • Reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease- Clinical studies tell us that there is an exponential decrease in cardiovascular diseases by increasing the servings of whole grains by just 90g a day (3 servings).
  • Reduces the risk of stroke- Studies have proven that the consumption of whole grains like wheat also reduces the risk of stroke.
  • Aids in digestion- Consuming whole wheat has a positive effect on the human gut. Its prebiotic properties and high fiber content lead to better digestion.

 

Tips to remember while buying Atta

  1. Always look for Whole Wheat Atta (whole wheat flour) and not just Wheat Atta.
  2. Avoid buying Atta that is purely white and fine. Whole Wheat Atta has a brownish hue and a coarse texture. 
  3. Many stores sell organic Atta and multigrain organic Atta as a healthier version.
  4. It is best to get Atta ground in front of you. This will help you decide the quality and how you want the texture. One must grind the wheat kernels in such a way that it has coarseness as a fine texture will reduce its fiber content. 

 

How to store Atta?

Keep Atta in a tightly sealed container in a cool and dark place. This way, Atta can last up to 2 months. Keeping it in the refrigerator will increase its shelf life by another 2 months. 

Also called sher aata.
