Hi NJ ILites, I live in CT. I ocassionally come to NJ to do some grocery shopping. The last time on my visit I went to Apna Bazaar in Oak tree road. I always bought GoldenTemple Atta. On that day I was looking for GT atta but had trouble finding it. So asked help in getting it from a person who looked like he was the manager of the store. He practically begged me to try Apna Bazaar Chakki Fresh Whole Wheat Atta. I bought it thinking that it might not be good. But to my surprise the first time I made chappatis with that atta, it was extremely good. Infact the chappathis were so soft and not so white like GT brand, which I guess it is mostly maida. They also stayed soft for my lunch the next day. Just wanted to let you all know about this atta and hopefully you all will try this someday. Regards, jothi.
Dear jhothi, Thank you for sharing,actually I am also using GT brand but not satisfied with that one.In my place Gt brand and lakshmi brand only available so no choice.So,added in my grocery list for the next trip to Oak tree road.
Jothi,we had a thread discussing about attas sometime back.I am not able to trace it. I too find Chakki fresh types to be good.I use Sujata Chakki fresh atta.
