Smile Healthy maida

Maida
The worst kind of wheat flour is maida or the perfectly white, highly refined flour. To make matters worse, certain bleaching agents are added to increase the whiteness. In the process of obtaining maida we lose about 30% of the grain, 80% of the minerals, 38% of proteins, 87% of the vitamins of the B group, 60% of calcium, 76% of iron & 85% of magnesium.

If you add a small portion of Maida in your wheat dough, It makes really soft chappathis.
