Understanding Kuttu (Buckwheat) Flour.
Kuttu flour is known for its distinctive nutty, earthy flavor and its dark color. It’s valued for:
Ideal for Fasting (Vrat/Upvas): A permitted and widely used flour during Hindu fasts, providing energy and sustenance when common grains are restricted.
Naturally Gluten-Free: An excellent choice for individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, offering a nutritious alternative to wheat-based flours.
Nutrient-Rich: Buckwheat is a good source of dietary fiber, protein, and essential minerals like magnesium and manganese. It has a lower glycemic index compared to many refined flours.
Versatile for Vrat Recipes: Used to prepare a variety of traditional fasting dishes, from flatbreads to savory pancakes and fritters.
Distinctive Flavor: Adds a unique, slightly robust, and earthy taste to preparations.
Quality by Malik Foods: Malik Foods provides this traditional flour, ensuring good quality for your fasting and everyday gluten-free needs.
Culinary Uses for Malik Foods Kuttu Flour.

Kuttu ki Roti/Paratha: Pan-fried or griddle-cooked flatbreads.
Kuttu ke Cheele: Savory pancakes, sometimes made with grated vegetables.
Kuttu ke Pakore (Fritters): Vegetables dipped in kuttu flour batter and deep-fried.
Fasting Thalipeeth/Dosa: Can be used to make savory multigrain (fasting-appropriate grains) pancakes.
Gluten-Free Baking (Blended): While it has a strong flavor on its own, it can be blended with other gluten-free flours for baking bread, muffins, or pancakes.
Thickening Agent: Can be used in small quantities to thicken some fasting-friendly gravies.
Tips for Cooking with Kuttu Flour.
Kuttu flour can be slightly dense on its own. It’s often mixed with mashed boiled potatoes, sweet potatoes, or other Vrat-friendly flours (like Singhare ka Atta – water chestnut flour) to improve texture and binding for puris and rotis.
The dough made from kuttu flour can be a bit sticky; use a little oil or dry kuttu flour while rolling.
Cook kuttu preparations thoroughly.
