Kuttu ka Atta is flour derived from Buckwheat.

Kuttu ka Atta is flour derived from Buckwheat.
Kuttu ka atta.
On Hindu fasting days (Navaratri mainly, also Maha Shivaratri), northern states of India eat items made of buckwheat flour, because, unlike wheat or rice, buckwheat is not a cereal, and thus deemed acceptable. Cereals are not generally eaten during Hindu fasts. Rules of the fast are left for the individuals to decide; some people do not drink water during their fast (nirjal upwaas), while some just give up cereals and salt. The preparation varies across India. The famous ones are kuttu ki puri and kuttu pakoras. In most of northern and western states, they call this kuttu ka atta. In Punjab, it is called okhla, too, and is extensively used in flour form.
The famous Indian recipes made with ‘kuttu ka atta’ are kuttu ka halwa (a type of dessert), kuttu ki puri (a flatbread variety) and pakoris (a snack).
It was discovered around 9000 BC that wheat seeds could be crushed between simple millstones to make flour. The Romans were the first to grind seeds on cone mills.


Everyone enjoys eating fruits especially during fasting.
Fruits are so versatile and there is so much you can do
with them, enjoy them raw, made into a chaat or along
with fresh cream.
