Enjoy crispy, healthy Chana Sattu Paranthas, with homemade white butter or yellow butter of your choice.
How to store: Store the flour in an airtight steel or glass container. Ideally, it is advised to consume any flour within 30 days of milling. This is more so in the case of our flour because we do not treat it with any chemicals for increasing the shelf life. In the absence of any chemical treatment, such flour is more prone to catch worm infestation too. So, buy flours in small quantities and consume them well in time.
