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

Saras Maida - 1kg is a finely milled refined wheat flour — the South Asian equivalent of plain white flour, essential for Indian breads, pastries, batters and sweets. Saras is a trusted dairy and food brand widely used across South Asian households in the UK, known for consistent quality and freshness.

Why Choose Saras Maida?

Maida is a highly refined, low-fibre wheat flour with a silky-smooth texture that produces soft, pliable doughs and light, airy batters. Unlike atta (wholemeal flour), maida has the gluten and starch refined to give a finer crumb — making it the preferred flour for naan, bhatura, paratha and Indian sweets that require a soft, stretchy dough.

How to Use Saras 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.
