Naturally gluten-free flours
- Buckwheat (kuttu): nutty, great for pancakes and rotis
- Besan (gram flour): for cheela and pakoras
- Rice flour: for crisp coatings
- Makki (corn) flour: for makki ki roti
Simple swaps
- Roti: mix buckwheat and makki flour with warm water
- Snacks: roasted makhana instead of biscuits
- Rice instead of bread with meals
Watch for cross-contamination
If you have coeliac disease, make sure flours aren't milled with wheat, and check labels on spice mixes.
