Bareek or mota: how to choose your atta's pisai (grind)

Pisai is how finely your atta is ground. Because we grind every order fresh on a stone chakki, you get to choose it — something you can't do with a packet off the shelf. Our wheat attas come in two pisai: Bareek-Medium and Medium-Mota.

Bareek-Medium (finer)

• Smoother dough that rolls out thin and even.
• Softer rotis and phulkas that puff easily.
• The most popular choice for everyday rotis, and the one we suggest if you are unsure.

Medium-Mota (coarser)

• More texture: you can feel the bran in the dough and the roti.
• Rotis are slightly thicker and more rustic, closer to a traditional village chakki atta.
• Good for parathas, thick tandoori-style rotis and missi roti.

Which pisai should you choose?

• Thin phulkas or rotis for children: Bareek-Medium.
• Rotis that sit in a tiffin: Bareek-Medium with Sharbati Desi Gold.
• You like a coarse, grainy roti: Medium-Mota.
• Mostly parathas: either works; Medium-Mota gives a crisper paratha.

Does pisai change the nutrition?

No. Both grinds use the whole grain — bran, germ and endosperm — and nothing is sieved out. Only the particle size changes.

Kneading by grind

• Bareek-Medium takes up water quickly: add it a little at a time.
• Medium-Mota needs a slightly longer rest (20–30 minutes) so the coarser particles soften.
