Shankar Maida - 1kg

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?

Maida is a highly refined, low-fibre wheat flour with a silky-smooth texture that produces soft, pliable doughs and light, airy batters. Shankar Maida is finely milled for a consistent, lump-free result — ideal for naan with a pillowy chew, bhatura that puffs up perfectly, or samosa pastry with a satisfying, flaky crunch.

How to Use Shankar Maida

• Naan — soft, pillowy flatbreads with a light, chewy texture
• Bhatura — deep-fried, puffed bread served with chole (chickpea curry)
• Paratha — layered, flaky flatbreads for breakfast or with curry
• Samosa Pastry — crispy, flaky shells for vegetable or meat samosas
• Gulab Jamun — soft, syrup-soaked Indian sweets made with maida and khoya
• Halwa & Barfi — maida-based Indian sweets and confections
• Pakora Batter — blend with besan for a lighter, crispier coating

Maida vs Atta — Which Do You Need?

Maida (this product) is refined white flour — use it for soft naan, bhatura, samosa pastry and Indian sweets where a light, smooth texture is needed. Atta is wholemeal flour — use it for everyday chapati and roti. Browse our full Maida range for all brands and sizes.
