    Roti, Chapati, or Phulka is a key staple in all Indian households. Generally made with Wheat flour (atta), we have been eating it since childhood.

    And today, with so many flours readily available in the market, it has even become easier to get these rotis served on the table.

    I keep switching between this Multigrain Roti and Whole Wheat Roti, in order to provide more nutrients to the family.  So today I am sharing a simple recipe to make Multigrain Roti at home. Make it for your kids and family.

    About This Recipe

    Multigrain Roti is a popular Indian bread that is made with the combination of whole wheat flour and some more ground grains. Other than whole wheat flour, it has ragi flour, bajra flour, besan, and oats flour.

    You can easily make this Atta or Flour at home, or nowadays this Multigrain flour is also readily available in the market. 

    I always make it at home, because you know what ingredients are going into the flour and what nutrient you are providing your family.

    Health Benefits

    As it is made with the combination of 5 flours, this Roti provides you daily intake of Iron, Protein, Vitamin B, and Fiber. It even aids digestion. 

    As three of the flours from 5 are gluten-free, it promotes weight loss. It is also good to include this Roti in diabetic’s everyday diet as it low in calories. 

    How to make your own Multigrain Flour?

    To make your own multigrain atta at home, just mix all the below-mentioned flour together and store it in an airtight container.

    Add water and salt just like the roti to make a dough and prepare your multigrain chapatis.

    • Whole Wheat Flour – 2 kg
    • Ragi Flour – 200 g
    • Bajra Flour – 200 g
    • Besan – 200 g
    • Oats Flour – 200 g

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is it good for weight loss?

    Multigrain Roti also has ingredients such as Ragi Flour, Besan, and Bajra, which are gluten-free and rich in fibers. They keep you full for a long time. Thus this roti is good for weight loss too or to maintain a steady weight. 

    This Multigrain Atta Roti is also low in cal. One serving has approx 150 Kcal and 15 g carbs.

    How to make a Masala Multigrain Roti?

    To make Masala Multigrain Roti, you can add in finely chopped onions, green chillies, coriander leaves, and everyday spices such as red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt along with the flour while kneading the dough. 

    Can I make paratha using this atta?

    Yes, definitely. You can make plain paratha, lachha paratha or poori using this multigrain flour.

    Can I make this atta from the whole grains?

    This atta can be made directly from the whole grains instead of using flours. Just wash the grain well with water and drain all the excess water.

    Dry the grains in the sun until they are nicely dry.

    Now grind them together to make multigrain atta from scratch. 

    Some people even sprout the grains before grinding. Sprouting the grains before grinding is the healthiest way to make multigrain atta.

    You can also roast the grains, except wheat to get a nice nutty aroma in the atta.

        Yes, you can do that but making the atta is the best way to go. Because you know what’s exactly going in it.

        Aashirvaad atta contains soya flour which is not healthy. This recipe is easy and way better and contains no soy at all.
