Barnyard - Sanwa Millet Flour

 The "Fasting Superfood" & Iron Powerhouse

Organic Barnyard Millet Flour, widely known as Sanwa Atta or Samak Rice Flour, is a staple in Indian households, especially during fasting periods (Vrat/Upvas) like Navratri. Sourced from the pristine, high-altitude regions of the Himalayas and Uttarakhand, this millet is naturally organic and hardy.

This flour is unique because it is the lowest calorie and highest fiber dense grain among all millets. It has a slightly greyish-white color and a mild, earthy taste that doesn't overpower dishes. It is celebrated for being light on the stomach yet providing sustained energy, making it perfect for those with sedentary lifestyles or diabetes.

Key Features

• Taste Profile: Bland to mild nutty flavor. It takes on the taste of the spices or condiments it is cooked with.

• Texture: The flour is soft and fine. When cooked into rotis or dosas, it yields a crispy yet soft texture.

• Iron Rich: It is the richest source of Iron among all millets, making it a vital food for vegetarians to prevent anemia.

• Fasting Friendly: It is botanically a seed (pseudo-cereal), not a grain, which is why it is permitted during religious fasts.

Culinary Uses

1. Vrat Ki Roti / Puri: The most common use. Mix with boiled potato or arbi (colocasia) to bind the dough, as it has no gluten.

2. Millet Dosa: Ferments beautifully to make crispy, golden dosas.

3. Farali Idli: Makes soft, fluffy idlis when mixed with curd.

4. Thalipeeth: A savory multigrain pancake where Sanwa flour adds crispiness.

5. Porridge (Rabadi): Excellent for babies and elderly people due to high digestibility.

Kneading Tip for Sanwa Flour

Binding Agent Required: Since Sanwa flour is gluten-free, it has zero elasticity. You cannot knead it with just water like wheat flour; it will crumble.

• Tip: Always use hot water to knead.

• Pro Tip: Add a binding agent like boiled mashed potato, raw banana, or a little arrowroot powder to help the rotis hold their shape and roll out easily.

Storage Instructions:
Store in a cool, dry place
