Heera Farari Flour 800g

Farari flour is the ready mixed flour for vrat and upvas, the days when wheat and rice are set aside. Heera blends barnyard millet (samo) with water chestnut flour (singoda) and amaranth flour (rajgira), the three grains most Gujarati and North Indian families turn to on Ekadashi, Navratri and Shivratri.

How to use it

Knead with warm water, a little ghee and rock salt into a soft dough for farali puris and thepla, or roll thin for rotis cooked on a hot tawa. Mixed with boiled potato it binds farali pattice and tikki, and a thin batter makes crisp pakoras and dosa style pancakes. The flour has no gluten of its own, so wet your hands and press the dough out gently without stretching it.
