Yes . we can say Maida is the queen (KIng?) of flours. I think even Lord Krishna would have told
மாவுகளில் நான் மைதாவாக இருக்கிறேன்.'
Because you can use this flour for many many things. If you having this flour in hand you can do the following things.

Because you can use this flour for many many things. If you having this flour in hand you can do the following things.
- Maida is super refined wheat flour used to make a wide variety of food items like puri, chappati, paratha etc., Maida is sometimes referred to as "All purpose flour."
- By using this we can prepare all bakery items. Like cakes, biscuts, breads, donuts.....etc.,
- Put maida in a clean cotton cloth and place it in a cooker and cook it like 'idly' . Remove from the cooker and use it as 'rice flour' That is you can make any savory by using this. Instead of rice flour you can use this maida for making savories.
- To make 'super rava dosa' add one part of maida, two parts rice flour and 3 rava.
- You can make Jalabi & Anjur Boondi by fermenting maida. You can also make 5 bups cake or 7 cups cake by using maida.
- Other than these things if you cook maida in water, you can prepare good 'paste',. You can use this paste to stick notice or stick you children's note covers with note book.
- To put 'starch' to your cotton saree, take one spoon maida and boil it in 1 lt water. Mix well till it cooks. Remove from fire. Keep aside and bring it to room temp. Now you can put your saree inthat and dry it. Your starched saree is ready.
- When you try to put 'izhi kolam' /'mavu kolam' at the time of function add maida with the grind rice flour and put kolam. So the kolam will last for many days. Even you can put only maida mavu kolam. It will be brite and it will be there in the flour for a long time.

Very sticky, isnt it??Posted 28th October 2007 at 03:28 PM by Ami

Thank you Aruna and Sri,
For your feed back.
Hi Sri,
I dont understand your question. 'Where is the Queen then' means?........Maida is the queen.Posted 29th October 2007 at 12:11 AM by krishnaamma - Hi Ami,
Yes, Even now some post offices you can see this gum. To keep this gum for a long time they put 'zink powder' 'thuthanakagm' in Tamil. My mother also do the same in house. She used to prepare this 'gum/paste' to stick our book covers and lables for our school note books. In old films, we can see the person who is sticking cinema posters will use this 'maida koozh' to stick them on the wall. I dont know now how they are sticking posters on walls. Are they still using this 'maida koozh'? any idea about this?Posted 29th October 2007 at 12:40 AM by krishnaamma
