Pearl Millet Flour

₹175 · 250g

Pearl Millet Flour at Iyarkai Pantry is stone-ground from whole pearl millet (kambu) — a nutritionally rich grain that forms the backbone of south Tamil rural cooking, particularly in Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari districts. Kambu flour is used for kambu koozh (the thick fermented millet porridge drunk with onion and buttermilk), roti, adai (lentil pancakes) and mixed kanji. The flour has a distinct grey-blue tint and a robust, nutty aroma — very different from the faintly sweet, pale yellow of wheat or refined grain flours. The 250g pack is a 2–3 week supply for regular kambu cooking. No preservatives, bleaches or anti-caking agents. Pearl millet is one of the most heat-tolerant crops in Tamil Nadu and one of the most affordable whole-grain options. Store airtight in a cool, dry place and use within 3 months.
