Cooking Millet

Indian Flour Manufacturer and Exporter for Wheat, Rice, Millet, Maize, Maida, and Soya Flour

Powder obtained by grinding cereal grains or seeds is called as flour. Irrespective of their kind, flours are generally rich sources of carbohydrates that are used in the preparation of various popular food varieties in India.  Used in the preparation of daily food items like rotis and parathas, flours of different kinds form the basic requirement of every Indian cuisine.
Understanding this essential requirement for flours in India, B.H Modi established a flour company that manufactures and exports various kinds of basic Indian flours and instant flours that can turn simple recipe into exotic fare by adding a special flavor to the food. These Indian flours manufactured by the company are the best quality flour products prepared by highly mechanised and hygenic processes.

Wheat Flour:
Flour obtained by milling wheat grains is generally termed as wheat flour. This flour made of wheat grains has high nutritive value and is the first choice of most of the health conscious people because of its rich fiber properties. Used in the preparation of food items like rotis, chapatis and parathas for daily meal, wheat flour is a daily requirement of north and West Indian cuisine. In the terms of parts of the grains used in manufacture of flour, wheat flour is generally classified into three types – one is the flour made from endosperm only, second is the one made from the entire grain, including bran, endosperm, and germ and the third is the one made from endosperm and germ, excluding the bran. The flour made from endosperm only is generally known as wheat coarse flour. The special wheat coarse flour manufactured by B.H Modi flour manufacturers is highly nutritious wheat flour manufactured from best quality of wheat which has nearly 12% protein content. Also known as special wheat flour or all-purpose flour, this white wheat flour finds its applications in all the cooking and baking products and is mainly used to prepare popular Indian recipes such as Ladu, Lapsi, Dal Bati, Bhakhari and many more wheat flour products.

Rice Flour:
Also known as rice powder, rice flour is a form of flour mainly made from polished broken rice. Rice flour is usually digested easily and thus is a good substitute for wheat flour, which causes irritation in the digestive systems of gluten-intolerant people. Easily available in most of the Asian markets, the rice flour we manufacture can inhibit liquid separation and thus used as a thickening agent in recipes that are refrigerated or frozen. When mixed with wheat and millet, this can be used in preparing baby food products. Made from finely milled white raw rice, this flour is generally used in the preparation of rice noodles and desserts.

Millet Flour:
Millets are a group of small-seeded species of cereal crops or grains, widely grown world for food and fodder. Flour obtained from these millet grains is generally gluten-free millet flour that can be added to the breads to reduce the gluten content and thus forms important ingredient for preparartion of low carbohydrate bread. Rich in iron, magnesium, zinc and vitamin B, the millet flour manufactured by us is extremely nutritious flour that is very essential for excellent health and longevity. Also known as Bajri flour in India, this is used for preparing soups, and for making food items like dense roti, rotala and chapattis.

Maize flour:
Maize is also known as corn in some English speaking countries. Thus the flour made from dried corn is generally referred as corn flour or Maize flour. Also called as makai flour in India, we supply high quality maize flour made from dried corn which has been slaked. After the corn is soaked in the lime solution it is washed and the exterior hulls are removed. The damp corn is then grounded into fine flour. Available in yellow and white varieties, this flour is widely used for breading and preparation of baked products. The white corn flour manufactured by us is milled from whole kernel and is best used as a filler, binder and thickener in cookie, pastry and meat industries.

Apart from these basic flours we also offer wide varieties of flours like idli flour, dosa flour, handvo flour, dhokla flour, lapsi fada flour that can be used in preparation of delicious foods instantly within no time.

How do you cook whole ragi (finger millet)?

Is it possible to eat it without removing the brown skin by sieving? ( cook like rice? )

No, the outer skin is indigestible & must be removed. Only millet grains & flour are eaten.

In India, finger millet or ragi is mostly grown and consumed in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Ragi flour is made into flatbreads, including thick, leavened dosa and thinner, unleavened roti. Ragi grain is malted and flour from the malted grain is consumed after mixing with Milk/Boiled water/Yoghurt.

The grains are enclosed in brown colored hulls (or skins), with color depending on variety, and the seed heads themselves are held above the grassy plant on a spike like panicle 6 to 14 inches long and are extremely attractive. Because of a remarkably hard, indigestible hull, this grain must be hulled before it can be used for human consumption. Hulling does not affect the nutrient value, as the germ stays intact through this process.

Once out of the hull, millet grains look like tiny yellow spheres with a dot on one side where it was attached to the stem. This gives the seeds an appearance similar to tiny, pale yellow beads. Millet is unique due to its short growing season.

Ragi flour is usually eaten as Ragi mudde (literally, Ragi paste. Also called Ragi balls, for the round shape.). The mudde which is prepared by boiling the Ragi flour in water until the water is condensed.

The resulting preparation is then rolled into a spherical form and consumed, after applying Ghee with Sambar.
*********************************************************
Ragi Mudde

Ragi Mudde is indeed one of the simplest things to prepare. Take a large mouthed vessel, add a glass of water to it. Heat till the water boils, add salt to taste. Take a glass of ragi flour and mix it in a glass of cold water. Add the dissolved solution slowly to the boiling water, stirring it with a strong ladle (back end). Back home a strong wooden stick is used.

Keep whisking till the mudde (flour dough) becomes smooth and soft without gantu (lumps). Reduce the flame, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes. The consistency must be semi solid like the wheat dough. When serving, wet your hand take out and make a ball and put it in the middle of a plate. Pour some sambar around it. Add a spoon of ghee/butter if you wish.

Make it into small marble sized balls, roll it in the sambar liquid and just gulp. Ragi mudde is not eaten by biting since the ragi tends to stick to the teeth. But some like it this way.

This is a very healthy dish both for the physically hard working as well as those with diabetes. It is indeed very healthy for children. It is high in protein, but very low in carbohydrates. Therefore, unlike rice or wheat, it is best for those with sugar complaints.

Eaten by farmers for long, its virtue has been known in recent years, by all in the state of Karnataka. It is almost synonymous with the best of traditional foods, simple, tasty, nutritious and wholesome.

Enjoy the nice, soft ragi mudde – loved by the young and the old.

‘P.S: It is not essential that the ragi flour be first dissolved in coldwater. The flour can be directly put it boiling water. But this needspractice and skill. It can be done by those familiar with the process. Otherwise, gantu (lumps) will emerge in the dough. Inside the lumps, raw flour will be left uncooked. It is essential to avoid this.
