Sighara Aata Whole Wheat Flour
What it is
Sighara aata is a finely ground whole wheat flour. It is made from 100% whole wheat grains, meaning it includes the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernel. This composition gives it a slightly coarser texture and a more robust flavor compared to refined flours. It is a staple ingredient in many households for everyday cooking.
How people cook with it
This versatile flour is a fundamental component in a wide range of traditional and contemporary dishes. Its wholesome nature makes it suitable for daily consumption.
- Making flatbreads

Sighara aata can be used in recipes that call for whole wheat flour. When making doughs for flatbreads like roti or chapati, it is often mixed with water and a pinch of salt, then kneaded until smooth and pliable. For baked goods, it can be used alone or in combination with other flours to achieve desired textures and flavors. It absorbs liquid differently than refined flour, so adjustments to the amount of water may be necessary. It lends a nutty depth to baked items.
