Ragi Flour 1kg is listed by Easy Grocery, an Indian and South Asian grocery at 184 McLeod Road, Auckland, on the DoorToShop marketplace. A millet dough does not build the elastic structure a wheat dough does, so it has little holding it together and cracks at the edges when rolled; the usual approaches are working it with hot water, patting it out by hand on a damp cloth or sheet rather than rolling, or cutting it with wheat flour for a mixed flatbread. It is used for flatbreads including roti and the South Indian mudde and ambali preparations, for dosa and porridge batters, and as part of a flour mix in baking, and is a staple grain flour across much of southern India. Its flavour is distinctly earthy and slightly mineral and does not disappear into a dish the way refined wheat does, and its darker colour carries through into the finished food, so cutting it with wheat flour is an easier introduction than a hundred percent millet flatbread. It keeps less well than refined wheat flour, so a size that will be finished is preferred and it is judged by smell as well as the best-before date, stored sealed airtight, cool, dark and dry, with the freezer a reasonable place for the unused portion. The ingredient list, allergen statement and best-before date are the manufacturer's and appear on the pack. Nothing here is a gluten-free statement about this product: suitability is a matter of how a flour was milled, handled and packed, mills often run more than one grain, and only the manufacturer can say what applies to the pack received. DoorToShop is a multi-merchant marketplace, so items from several local stores can go in one cart and one checkout. Merchants dispatch the next business day and courier delivery takes 1 to 3 business days; delivery is calculated at checkout, free delivery above the threshold shown there applies in the Auckland region only, and there is no minimum order value. Returns are handled by the store that sold the item and the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 applies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it handle like wheat flour?

No, and that is the main thing to know before you start. A millet dough does not build the elastic structure a wheat dough does, so it has little holding it together and will crack at the edges as you roll it. The usual approaches are to work the dough with hot water, to pat it out by hand on a damp cloth or sheet rather than rolling it, or to cut it with some wheat flour and accept a mixed flatbread.

I am avoiding gluten. Can I go by that?

Go by the pack, not by the grain. Nothing here is a gluten-free statement about this product: whether a flour is suitable is a matter of how it was milled, handled and packed, mills often run more than one grain, and only the manufacturer can tell you what applies to the pack you receive. If it matters medically, read the label and take it up with the manufacturer or your health professional rather than relying on a blog page.

What is it used for?

Flatbreads such as roti and the South Indian mudde and ambali style of preparation, dosa and porridge batters, and as part of a flour mix in baking. It is a staple grain flour across much of southern India and it turns up in both everyday and infant cooking there.

Why does it taste different from wheat?

Different grain. Millet flours have a distinctly earthy, slightly mineral flavour that does not disappear into a dish the way refined wheat does, and a darker colour that carries through into whatever you make. If you are new to it, cutting it with wheat flour to start is an easier introduction than going straight to a hundred percent millet flatbread.

How long does it keep?

Less well than refined wheat flour, so buy a size you will finish and go by smell as well as the best-before date on the pack. Whole-grain flours of any kind taste flat or sharp when they have been open too long. Sealed airtight, cool, dark and dry, and the freezer is a reasonable place for the part you are not using.

How do I keep pantry moths out of it?

Sealed containers, and a couple of days in the freezer when a pack arrives. Pantry moths usually come in with the goods rather than flying into your kitchen, so treating a pack on arrival catches the problem before it spreads along the shelf.

What is on the pack?

The ingredient list, any allergen statement, the country of origin and the best-before date, all of which are the manufacturer's to state and are printed on the packaging rather than reproduced here. The product page carries the weight, the barcode and the date as the store entered them.

Can I order this with items from other stores?

Yes. DoorToShop is a multi-merchant marketplace, so this can go in the same cart as items from other local stores and you check out once.

How much is delivery, and is there a minimum order?

Delivery is calculated at checkout, where the exact amount is confirmed. Free delivery applies above the threshold shown there, in the Auckland region only. There is no minimum order value, and you can combine items from other local stores in the same cart.
