Hi Krishna amma,
These days you come across diets saying not to use refined flours. Its harmful for you.Use whole wheat instead.
Any comments?
regards

HI marrgg,

ya, we are using Maida to make all our biscuts and cakes.

krishnaamma · Apr 20, 2009

HI Babita,
WE cannot say it is totally good or bad. As I told before Generally all biscuits, cakes, our lovely pizzas are made from Maida only. so you have to take it according to your body. ok ya?
Hope you will understand.

Hi Jai,

How are you? cant see you.

yes you are correct

krishnaamma · Apr 20, 2009

Hi libra,

Yes, It is harmful to use only/always refined flour. so when ever possible you can use whole wheat flour. because already we are consuming bread, biscuts, cakes and pizzas which contains only maida. So if you are diet concious, you use other flours other than Maida. ( now a days we are getting many varieties of whole wheat and some other pulse bread and biscuts). Normal people and childran can use This great flour MAIDA na?

Yeah!
Maida is really the queen of flours and very aptly called all purpose flower.
You can also add the following to your list.
It is used in making white sauce which is essential for many of the modern recipes.
It is used as a binding agent for making cutlets.
And not to forget its hyderali kaala usage as Goandhu for sticking stamps!!!
