And don't worry if first trial fails as we have so many varieties of desi makki ka atta and all of them need different amount of water to cook and set, try again and see how good it is.<br />Hope it helps.

I know Indian/british cornflour is american corn starch. Is american corn flour also makki ka atta?<br />Is american cornflour, polenta and cornmeal the same thing - i.e.makki ka atta? And is there a local Indian name for corn grits?<br /><br />Yours is the first recipe that substitutes makki ka atta directly. So I will use i(fingers crossed). I hope you post a polenta porridge recipe soon.srishtinoreply@blogger.com
