No more Pillsbury Atta / Sujata Atta in Bay area, in entire US

i bought a 10lb bag of pillsbury atta from india cash and carry (sunnyvale) on saturday. but the bags are going pretty quick - almost everyone had a pack in their shopping cart. you can check there if they still have it.

Hi GPriya,

Try adding a tea spoon of rice flour or soya flour when you make the dough.

Vijaya

hi Mytherayi,

i saw ur msg only this morning and immediately I went to India cash and carry, but no luck. Any idea if any other shop sells the same?

Hi Rekhas,

I live in bay area (Northern California) .I have never seen Nature's Best brand anywhere around here..

Thanx for the info,
Geeth Priya.

Hi GPriya,

I don't know if any other shop has it now but I used to also buy pillsbury atta from coconut hill in sunnyvale, last time I checked they did not have it but may be they do now. ICC had a few bags only so I'm not surprised that you didn't find any today.

Geeth Priya,

I could ask them if any NorCal grocers carry Nature's Best when I go there the next time.

Geeth Priya,

I used to buy Sujatha brand atta from Coconut Hill. But recently I bought 'India's Best' chappathi flour as Sujatha was not available. It makes good chapathis. This one tends to absord a lil more water than Sujatha brand. Buy a small pack of this from Coconut Hill and try. Its packed in plain transparent plastic bags.

Hi Vijaya,

I will try add rice flour as suggested by you. But what does it suppose to do.. is it less rubbery or softer than before..just trying to understand the reason behind adding a tsp of rice flour.

Hi Writeme,

I will try nature's best next time if pillsbury is still available .. bcos, i have 20lbs of captain cook brand flour which will take a while to finish....I don't intend to waste.

Thanx anyways for both,
Geeth Priya.

Now, will you please let me know people who are used to Pillsbury atta's fluffy roti, whats the second best that makes us forget Pillsbury in furture, among the locally made brands. I am not interested in brands like Sakthi Bhog, Laxmi, golden temple etc., are all not good for my taste.

I am sure you all have come to know about the shortage of Pillsbury atta, and figued out the best alternate by now. Your help would be very much needed asap!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting for your feed back to make roti,
Geeth Priya.

hi geeth priya,

don't worry,try with ashirvad atta(anna poorna),that will give smooth rotis,taste s also good!!!!

Hi Anusha,

Aashirvad brand is not available in LA. I have tried in quite a few places and finally started buying Sujatha which was very close to Aashirvad. But now, we don't get that too.. - After searching in quite a few places, we finally found Sujatha Aata (Exorbitantly priced) but managed to grab a 10 lbs bag.

Is Aashirvad available in Bay Area? Please let me know. I have friends in Bay Area who are visiting so I can ask them to buy and come.

Thanks.
