How to Make Quinoa Roti — Step by Step
Ingredients for 4 rotis: 1 cup Cure by Pure quinoa flour, ¾ cup warm water, ½ tsp salt, 1 tsp ghee (optional).
Step 1 — Mix: Combine flour and salt. Add warm water slowly while kneading, about 5 minutes, until a smooth dough forms. It will feel slightly stickier than wheat dough — that's normal.
Step 2 — Rest: Cover with a damp cloth and rest 10 minutes. Don't skip this — it's what makes rolling easier and the roti softer.
Step 3 — Roll: Divide into small balls, dust lightly with quinoa flour, and roll thin — same thickness as regular roti.
Step 4 — Cook: Medium-high tawa, 1-2 minutes per side until light brown spots appear. Apply ghee while hot.
Beginner tip: First time? Mix 80% quinoa flour with 20% regular wheat atta, then move to 100% quinoa once you're comfortable.
Other Ways to Use Quinoa Flour
Cheela or pancakes: 3 tbsp quinoa flour + 60ml water + pinch of salt. Rest 10 minutes, cook on tawa.
Porridge: 2 tbsp quinoa flour boiled in 1 cup milk with honey.
Baking: Works in muffins and bread — combine with egg or a binding agent since there's no gluten to hold structure.
Smoothies: 1 tablespoon in any smoothie — no strong taste change, adds protein and fibre.
Is Quinoa Flour Worth the Price?
At Rs.2,999 per kg, it's significantly more expensive than regular atta. Honestly:
Worth it if: you want a genuine gluten-free flour option, more protein in daily rotis, or you're managing a specific dietary requirement.
Not necessary if: you have no dietary reason to avoid wheat, or budget is the main concern. The price reflects import and processing cost, not marketing markup.
