Badusha recipe using this original maida : • Badusha - with Homemade Maida | Balushahi ... | First time on YouTube in tamil
IMPORTANT : Try this only when there is ample sunlight. Otherwise it tends to start smelling badly.
Maida or all purpose flour is one among the " 5 whites" recommended to be avoided by doctors around the world . Since wheat flour is refined and bleached it leads to harmful effects. A harmful chemical alloxin is present in Maida.
Most of the recipes that we like and are tasty is prepared using Maida. It is with guilt that we often buy these food items for our kids.
I have come up with a new method, the first time on youtube, to make Home made original Maida with no chemicals. It is a very easy method. So, henceforth we can enjoy the dishes without falling sick and feeling guilty. I have given the scientific reasoning at the end. Please scroll down.
Ingredients :
Broken wheat
Or
Wheat rava
Or
Wheat flour
and
Water
Method :
Soak Wheat Rava in water for 1 to 2 hours. Squeeze the rava with hands and extract milk. Keep adding water and extract milk.
A hand blender can be used if necessary.
Now allow the extract to rest for 1 to 1.5 hrs.
After resting, discard the clear water and pour the white starch part to a plate.
Try to strain as much water as possible.
Cover the plate with a thin cotton cloth and dry it in direct sunlight for 2 to 3 days.
After it is completely dry, remove the pieces and grind it using a mixer grinder.
Sieve it and grind till you get a fine powder
Our homemade original Maida is ready. This can replace Maida in any items.
Alternatively water can be added to Whole Wheat Flour and strained to get a fine extract. Allow it to rest and discard the clear water.
Try the sediments, powder and sieve it to a fine powder. This will be light brown in colour and not white as made from wheat rava. Yet it can be used substituted for Maida.
To make home made cake flour :
Take one cup original maida flour. Remove two tblsp flour from the cup.
Add 2 tblsp corn flour. Mix well.
Home made cake flour is ready.
NOTE :
It is easier to make with wheat rava than grinding whole wheat.

This is home made with just whole wheat, water and sunlight with an age old method used traditionally by our grannies. The aleurone layer of grains contains phytic acid which binds to important elements like iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, and zinc making it unavailable resulting in malnutrition and Anemia. When the grains are processed in the above way the phytic acid content is limited enabling availability of macro and micro elements. Fermentation, traditional milling, soaking were all done to limit phytic acid. The fact that our grandmother's used this method to start solids when the baby was weaned from liquid diet is proof that it isn't worthless. When the grains are soaked the stored nutrients are made bioavailable and send into the endosperm for germination. So all that is left is the outer covering whose only purpose is to protect the growing plant. In this method only those unwanted, undigestible skin is eliminated. So it is not just starch. It is the endosprem enriched with nutrients.
