Atta is a whole wheat flour commonly used in Indian and South Asian cuisine. It is made from finely ground durum wheat, which gives it a slightly coarse texture and a rich, nutty flavor. Atta is the key ingredient in staple foods like chapati, roti, paratha, and puri. Known for its high fiber content and nutritional benefits, it aids digestion and provides sustained energy. Its elasticity and strength make it ideal for making soft, pliable doughs that puff up when cooked.
