How Hathi Masala Fasting Flour Makes Your Vrat Dishes Simple and Wholesome

Rajgira flour has long been a part of Indian fasting traditions. During Ekadashi, Navratri, and other vrat days, it becomes a go-to fasting flour in many Indian families.

The most common use of Hathi Fasting Flour is for roti or paratha. Mix it with mashed potato and a little sendha namak for soft, filling flatbreads. Rajgira halwa and laddoos made with ghee, jaggery, and dry fruits are also classic sweet options.

Beyond fasting, it works well in pancakes and cheelas. As it’s naturally gluten-free, it’s a good option for those with wheat sensitivity. Hathi’s smooth and rough variants can be used in these recipes, depending on your preferred texture.

Rough or Smooth, Which Flour Is Right for Your Dish? 

Hathi Fasting Flour is available in two variants. Here is a simple guide to help you pick the right one:

Rough Rajgira Flour

Not too fine, slightly grainy texture

Quick tip for homemakers: If you are making halwa or Rajgira roti during Navratri, the Smooth variant is the better choice. If you want a more filling, textured flatbread, the Rough variant is perfect.

About Hathi Rajgira Fasting Flour

Hathi Fasting Flour is made from good-quality Amaranth sourced from trusted Indian farmers. The seeds are carefully cleaned and milled to preserve their natural protein, fiber, and minerals, so the flour you use during your vrat is as nutritious as it is pure.

Carefully milled to Preserve Nutrition

Most flour is processed in traditional high-speed mills. This can affect the natural nutrients present in the grain. At Hathi Masala, our Rajgira Flour is carefully milled to retain its natural protein, fiber, and essential minerals.

We source high-quality Rajgira (Amaranth) seeds from trusted Indian farmers and ensure they are processed with care, from cleaning through to final packaging. The result is a clean and pure flour that is well-suited for both fasting meals and everyday healthy cooking.

Quality You Can Trust

Every pack of Hathi Rajgira Fasting Flour goes through a careful quality process before it reaches your kitchen:

  • Rajgira seeds sourced directly from trusted farms across India.

  • Every batch is tested for purity and safety.

  • Machine-cleaned, sterilized, and hygienically packed without human contact.

  • The Manufacturing facility is ISO 22000 and FSSAI certified.

Hathi Masala has remained a trusted name in Indian households since 1952, and that trust extends to every pack of flour we make.

Why Hathi Masala Fasting Flour is better for Your Health

Rajgira (Amaranth) is one of the most nutritious foods for fasting. It is naturally rich in protein, calcium, iron, and dietary fiber, making it more nourishing than other regular flours. It contains all nine essential amino acids, including lysine, which helps your body support tissue repair and absorb calcium.

In Ayurveda, Rajgira is classified as a satvik food, pure and light. It supports digestion. As it’s completely gluten-free, it is also suitable for anyone who avoids wheat for health reasons, not just during vrat.

Storage tip: Store in a clean, dry, airtight container. Keep away from moisture and heat. Stays fresh for 6 to 9 months.
