Multi-grain-pulse flour

As the name suggest it is a flour made up of many types of grains and pulses...
It is difficult sometimes for us to include them in our diet. This flour is a healthy way to do so and also brings a different flavor to your dishes.
We use this flour specially for making thalipeth - the Maharashtrian style paratha....


Ingredients 


  1. 11/2 kg rice (washed and dried)
  2. 1/2 kg jowar
  3. 1/2 kg bajra
  4. 100 gm chickpeas (dal)
  5. 100 gm dried yellow peas
  6. 100 gm black urad (whole)
  7. 100 gm moong (whole)
  8. 100 gm masoor (whole)

Method


  1. Rice is sprayed with pesticides, hence we need to wash it first and then dry it in the afternoon sun for almost 2-3 hrs.
  2. We have to roast the grains and pulses  one by one...take a heavy bottom vessel for roasting.
  3. Let's start with rice. Roast it on a medium flame until the rice starts getting golden brown in color.
  4. When the rice is done take it out in a wide container and let it cool.
  5. Similarly, roast the jowar, bajra and other pulses, each separately.
  6. After roasting, add them to the container having rice.
  7. When they cool down, mix them well and grind the mixture in a flour mill.
  8. Your multi-grain-pulse flour is ready!!

You  see ... a lot of nutrients !!
This flour can be used in making parathas, puris and more...
And thalipeths are just coming!!
Enjoy :)
