Proso Millet Flour 500g

₹140.00

For generations, Indian kitchens have made room for grains that are simple, adaptable and suited to everyday cooking. Proso Millet is one such traditional grain. Known by regional names including Barri, Bariga, Variga and Chena, and often called Common Millet, it has been cultivated and consumed across different parts of India.

When this small traditional grain is carefully ground, it becomes a fine and versatile flour that can be used well beyond the usual millet recipes. Proso Millet Flour has a naturally mild, earthy and slightly nutty flavour, making it easy to combine with familiar Indian ingredients.

Just Organik Organic Proso Millet Flour is made from carefully selected organic Proso Millet, which is hygienically cleaned and processed before being stone-ground using the traditional Chakki method. This traditional method of grinding gives the flour its characteristic texture while helping preserve the natural character of the grain.

Naturally gluten-free, Proso Millet is a source of dietary fibre and naturally contains nutrients such as protein, phosphorus, magnesium and niacin. Its mild flavour makes the flour particularly versatile for everyday cooking, whether you are already familiar with millets or are trying millet flour for the first time.

Use Proso Millet Flour to prepare Barri roti, millet chapati, paratha and cheela, or add it to dosa and other Indian breakfast batters. It can also be used for pancakes, porridge, traditional-style snacks and homemade baked recipes. For softer rotis and familiar textures, it can be combined with other suitable flours according to your recipe.

Millets have always been more than a passing food trend in India. They represent generations of farming knowledge and regional food traditions, with different millet varieties finding their own place in local kitchens.

From Barri and Variga to a convenient flour for modern cooking, Just Organik Organic Proso Millet Flour brings a lesser-known traditional Indian grain into an easy-to-use form — organically sourced, carefully processed and stone-ground using the traditional Chakki method.

For one person: Approximately 40–50 g of Proso Millet Flour is a practical starting quantity for one person when preparing a single serving of roti, cheela, porridge or another flour-based recipe. The amount can vary depending on the recipe and whether it is blended with other flours.

For everyday cooking: Begin with 40–50 g per person and add water or other ingredients gradually according to the preparation. For rotis and chapatis, Proso Millet Flour can be used alone in suitable recipes or combined with other flours for easier handling and a softer texture.
