Multigrain atta ratios explained: 80:20 vs 60:40
Multigrain atta is wheat atta mixed with other grains — and the ratio decides how your rotis taste and roll. Our 10-grain multigrain attas state their ratio on the label, so you know exactly what you are getting.
What is in our multigrain atta?
Sharbati whole wheat plus nine grains and seeds: jowar, bajra, oats, chana, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, makka (maize), jaun (barley) and ragi. Everything is stone-ground together after you order.
80:20 — "REAL Multigrain"
- 80% Sharbati whole wheat, 20% other grains.
- Rotis roll, puff and taste close to wheat rotis, with a gentle nutty flavour.
- The easy switch from plain wheat atta, and the one most families stay with.
- Two versions: with Sharbati and with Desi Gold Sharbati. There is also a 1 kg trial pack.
60:40 — "TRULY Strong Multigrain"
- 60% wheat, 40% other grains.
- A stronger, earthier taste.
- Less wheat means less gluten to hold the dough, so rotis are firmer. Eat them fresh off the tawa — they harden as they cool.

Which ratio should you choose?
- Switching from wheat atta, or cooking for children: 80:20.
- Already used to multigrain and want more grains in each roti: 60:40.
- Rotis must stay soft for a lunchbox: 80:20 with Desi Gold.
Tips for multigrain rotis
- Knead with lukewarm water and rest the dough for 20–30 minutes.
- Roll slightly thicker than a wheat phulka.
- Cook on a well-heated tawa and serve immediately.
- Make the dough fresh each day rather than refrigerating it overnight.
Why a stated ratio matters
"Multigrain" on a packet can mean a pinch of other grains in a bag of wheat. When the ratio is printed, you can compare like with like.
Questions people ask
Why are 60:40 multigrain rotis hard?
The other grains have little or no gluten, so a 60:40 dough holds together less well and rotis firm up as they cool. They are best eaten fresh.
Can I make parathas with multigrain atta?
Yes — the 80:20 makes good parathas. With 60:40, add a little extra ghee or oil to the dough.
Is there a high-protein multigrain?
Yes: the Natural High Protein Multigrain Atta, lab-verified at about 18 g protein per 3 rotis.
