Shivani General Store's Maida Flour

Maida is a finely milled, refined flour made from wheat, commonly used in Indian cuisine. It is a versatile ingredient that serves as the base for a variety of dishes, including breads, pastries, and snacks. Known for its smooth texture and light color, maida is often preferred for making soft and fluffy rotis, parathas, and various baked goods. Its high gluten content makes it an excellent choice for recipes requiring elasticity and structure. In addition to traditional Indian recipes, maida can be used in international cuisines for making pizza dough, cakes, and cookies. Its ability to absorb moisture and create a light, airy texture makes it a staple in many households. When stored properly in a cool, dry place, maida retains its freshness and quality, making it a reliable pantry staple for both everyday cooking and special occasions.
