Heera Desi Makki Atta is a traditional stone-ground maize (corn) flour and the cornerstone of authentic Punjabi winter cooking. Made from coarsely ground dried corn, this is the flour that every Punjabi household reaches for when the cold months arrive β the one and only ingredient for the iconic Makki di Roti, the thick, golden, rustic flatbread that has warmed hearts and kitchens across the Punjab for generations.
When paired with a generous bowl of Sarson da Saag β slow-cooked mustard greens β and finished with a knob of white makhan (butter), Makki di Roti becomes one of the most beloved, soul-satisfying meals in all of South Asian cuisine. With Heera Desi Makki Atta, you can recreate that authentic Punjabi experience right in your own kitchen, any time of year.
