{"title":"Makki Atta \u0026 Cornmeal","description":"\u003cp\u003eMakki atta is whole maize ground into a fine yellow flour. In Punjab it is made into makki di roti, a thick, rustic flatbread eaten in winter with sarson da saag, jaggery and white butter. Maize does not have the gluten of wheat, so the dough does not stretch and is patted out by hand. Cornmeal is the same grain ground coarser or finer, sold as fine or coarse cornmeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFine cornmeal suits Jamaican cornmeal porridge, cornbread, fried dumplings and coating fish; coarse cornmeal gives polenta, cou-cou and banku style dishes more texture.
