Buckwheat Flour, known as Kuttu in Hindi, is a finely milled flour made from buckwheat seeds. Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and contains no gluten, making it suitable for gluten-free diets.
In Indian culinary tradition, Kuttu flour holds special importance during fasting periods such as Navratri, Ekadashi, and Shivratri, when regular grains like wheat and rice are avoided. It is commonly used to prepare Kuttu puri, paratha, pakora, and pancakes, offering a wholesome alternative for vrat (fasting) meals.
Buckwheat flour can be mixed with water or potato mash to prepare dough for puris and rotis. It is also suitable for pancakes, crepes, and gluten-free baking recipes. For best texture, combine with binding ingredients such as boiled potato when preparing traditional fasting breads.
In many Indian households, Kuttu flour is considered sattvic and appropriate for fasting days. Its role in festive and devotional cooking makes it a pantry essential during the fasting season.
