Imagine going out to dinner and not having a dessert of your choice like atta halwa. Or, what if you eat at a restaurant and don’t finish your meal with something sweet? Certainly not! Everyone can’t resist the desserts at any meal. Furthermore, indulging in a sweet treat is never a bad time. However, even though we love savoring our favorite desserts, some refined ingredients may harm our health. For example, the most processed form of wheat, refined flour (maida), is used in most deserts and is considered relatively unhealthy. This is primarily due to the fact that the finished product lacks all of the beneficial wheat components. Atta, also known as whole wheat flour, is a healthier and superior alternative to maida.
In every Indian household, atta is a common ingredient. Rotis, parathas, and puris are all made with it. Whole atta is also the main ingredient in a lot of desserts.
