Pin Now lets now learn why maida is unhealthy: Wheat seed has 3 parts: Bran – is the hard outer covering where most fibre content is present. Germ – is the nutrient rich embryo that will sprout and grow into a new wheat plant. Endosperm – is the biggest part of the grain(about 83%) but is full of starch. Whole wheat flour combines all 3 parts of the wheat berry.Though maida is made from wheat, it is prepared from only the endosperm which does not contain any nutrients and is only carbohydrate or sugar.The bran is separated from the germ and endosperm which is then refined by passing through a sieve.It is naturally yellowish due to pigments present in wheat, but maida is bleached by oxygen in the atmosphere or artificially bleached using chemicals and more chemicals are added to give the white color, gluten and elasticity which makes it unhealthy to consume.Info courtesy : google Maida or also called as all purpose flour is one among the 5 whites to be avoided as suggested by doctors too.

Expert Tips
Try this when you have good amount of sunlight. If the milk is not dried properly it will give bad smell. I used mixie as I found it convenient. But as per the original source you can even use hand blender that’s mainly if you use broken wheat rava which is very fine. When you are trying try with 250gms then you can do in bulk. Make sure the resting time doesn’t exceed much than the mentioned time else it will give a sour taste.
