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

Hi Ilites,

Yesterdat I went shopping for groceries after almost 2 months since I was away in India for over a month, and I came to know that there is no more import of any wheat flour from India. Especially my favourite brand of Pillsbury atta isn't there in any grocery shop and I am disappointed.

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,
I have been using the SUJATA brand atta for some time now and it is pretty good. The rotis come out nice and soft and stay softer for longer and tastes good too. Hope you will like it too.
Thanks

Hi Sakich,

Sujata brand is again from India and hence due to ban, it is not available in any bay area shops. I am interested in a good local brand atta which is equally good like Pillsbury or Sujata. Let me know if u have any idea.

Thanx,
Geeth Priya.

Hi Priya,
I think you will get Pillsbury atta in American Grocery stores, like Magruder's.......I had seen that in Magruder's.
Please check with other American supermarkets.
Regards.

Hi Meeta.

No such shop in bay area.. i have no choice except to pick one local brand of atta.

Thanx anyways,
Geeth Priya.

Even I have heard about it. My friend had called she said the same thing.
This is real bad first it was the rice now the atta.

i stay in boston and we have the same problem and the indian market recommend deep atta , they say it is the same like sujatha , also the golden temple brown bag is good they say. i am in the similar situation .please let know if anyone has tried the same.

I like the Laxmi brand atta. But if you've already tried it and don't like the taste, then I guess you can buy a small pack of the other local brands like Golden Temple etc and try it one by one till you find one whose taste you like...?

How can one say its Whole Wheat?Though all the Atta packages claim so....

I tried Swad,Kohinoor,Golden Temple...to me it doesnt look like Whole Wheat becos of the color..but Sujata and lakshmi are darker...

How have you all felt?

Hi Shravanthika,

After tasting all brands here, I feel Lakshmi does not contain any maida and is entirely whole wheat (at least that is what it feels like to me).

My parents also liked its taste and couldn't make out any difference from what they eat in India...

love,
Aarushi
