Finely Milled Refined Wheat Flour for Naan, Bhatura and Indian Sweets

Shankar Maida - 1kg is a finely milled refined wheat flour — the South Asian equivalent of plain white flour, and an essential ingredient for Indian breads, pastries, batters, and sweets. Shankar is a well-established brand in the British Indian grocery market, trusted for consistent quality across its range of flours and staples.

Why Choose Shankar Maida 1kg?

Maida is a highly refined, low-fibre wheat flour with a silky-smooth texture that produces soft, pliable doughs and light, airy batters. Unlike wholemeal atta used for everyday chapati and roti, maida is the go-to flour for naan with a pillowy chew, bhatura that puffs up perfectly, and samosa pastry with a satisfying flaky crunch. Shankar's finely milled maida delivers a consistent, lump-free result every time.

Serving Suggestions

• Knead into a soft dough for pillowy naan or puffed bhatura served with chole
• Roll into thin sheets for crispy, flaky samosa pastry shells
• Use as a base for gulab jamun dough combined with khoya for syrup-soaked Indian sweets
• Blend with besan for a lighter, crispier pakora batter
• Mix into layered paratha dough for a softer, more pliable flatbread
