Desi Makki Atta is best known for making Makki di Roti, the classic Punjabi maize flatbread traditionally served alongside Sarson da Saag. This 1kg pack is a coarse maize flour, ground for home flatbread making rather than baking with wheat. In the kitchen, it is used to prepare thick, rustic rotis that are cooked on a hot tawa or griddle. The flour has a coarser texture than wheat atta, so it is often mixed with warm water and worked by hand to bring the dough together. Many cooks pat the dough directly onto the tawa rather than rolling it, as makki dough is less elastic than wheat dough. Makki di Roti is usually served hot, straight off the griddle, with a knob of butter or ghee melted on top. It pairs well with mustard greens, curries or a simple dollop of yoghurt on the side. Store the flour in a cool, dry place in an airtight container once opened, and use within a reasonable time for the best texture when making dough. Keep it away from moisture, as maize flour can absorb dampness more readily than wheat flour.
