Chakki Atta, Whole Wheat Flour, 20-Pound Bag

I've purchased this flour from Amazon in order to make pita bread. It's wonderful! Atta flour is ground finer than other whole wheat flours and so gives excellent results. I also use it to make no-knead bread, and the loaves are turning out lovely. Also, I've successfully substituted it for unbleached all-purpose flour in pancakes, and muffins with excellent results. Only difference is that the batter seems to see rise and bubble up when it sits but I just stir back together to smooth it before pouring/scooping into trays, and it bakes and rises beautifully. I'm still experimenting with it and will try it with cakes next. Highly recommended! UPDATE: I noticed a little later that the flour was sent to me past its "better if used by" date of December 27, 2009. My item was shipped to me on January 30, 2010. Amazon's customer service was wonderful, and I received a prompt full refund from them since they couldn't guarantee that an immediate replacement from the seller would not have the same problem. Unfortunately, I could not change my positive review of the seller (India Connect) to outline the problem and express my displeasure at being sent a food item past it's "better if used by" date. Of course I realize that flour does not immediately expire, and thankfully I had it stored in the fridge. So, even though we used it when we first got it with no ill effect, it is a matter of principal that I was sold TWENTY POUNDS of flour past its "better if used by" date. That's just wrong. So I wanted to give fair warning to anyone who might want to order this item (Sujata Chakki Atta flour, 320-ounce bag, from India Connect). Thanks Amazon for taking care of this.

This flour is fantastic. There is nothing like using the correct flour to make chappatis. I am quite flour-challenged but so far I have had great success with rotis, chappatis and stuffed parathas with this product. Of course I have no reference point but the stuff I make with this look and taste like the real thing I have had from friends. The bag is quite large - I would have preferred a 5 pound bag - hopefully it will keep well for a long period and not go stale. I will update my review if and when that happens.

Exactly what I expected!

Product as expected

Best price

I am very disappointed with this purchase. Please be careful before buying: the seller is charging the same price for this 10lb bag that you would normally pay for a 20lb bag in any local market. While the product itself is fine, the value for money is terrible. This is essentially a 100% markup compared to standard retail prices. I strongly recommend checking your local grocery store or other sellers before hitting "buy" here. Don't pay double for half the amount!

Sujata atta, the whole wheat flour, is great and that was what I always buy from local store. The price is way off in Amazon. Local store sells this for $10. Even after subscribe and save, I am paying ~$6 to have this 20lb package in frontdoor. Not too shabby, but could have been better. Unlike some other short dated Amazon grocery items, the package I received was manufactured in Jan 2011.

This brand is the best for flat bread (chapatti, rotti). Tastes great !
