Atta
Atta refers to whole wheat flour commonly used in South Asian cooking, particularly for making flatbreads like chapati and naan. It is milled from durum wheat, retaining the bran and germ, which gives it a richer flavor and higher nutritional value compared to refined flour. Atta is a staple in many households, appreciated for its versatility and health benefits, including being high in fiber and essential nutrients. It is often preferred for its wholesome qualities, contributing to a balanced diet. Its preparation involves simply mixing it with water to form a dough.
