What "no maida" means here
Maida is refined wheat flour. On a label it appears as "refined wheat flour" or "maida". Our ingredients list has neither:
| Ingredient | Share |
|---|---|
| Whole wheat flour | 50% |
| Foxtail millet flour | 40% |
| Besan (gram flour) | 4.5% |
| Cluster bean powder | 4.5% |
| Iodised salt | a little |
The seasoning mix has no maida either: it is spices, iodised salt, unrefined cane sugar and citric acid.

What is different when you cook it
- Colour: darker than white pasta, because of the whole wheat and millet.
- Time: boil for 8 minutes, the same as most pasta.
- Sauce: you do not need one. Toss the drained pasta with the seasoning mix and a spoon of oil or butter.
- If you like sauce: it works with a simple white sauce or red sauce. Neither recipe uses maida.
Two shapes
Penne for dinner, Macaroni (elbow) for lunch boxes. Same ingredients in both.
