How to Say "Millet Flour" in Hindi

बाजरे का आटा

baajre ka aataa

Millet flour in Hindi is बाजरे का आटा (baajre ka aataa).

This phrase refers to a powder made by grinding the seeds of the millet plant, which is used for baking and cooking.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of baajre (millet), ka (of) and aataa (flour).

In regions such as Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab, people may refer to millet flour as बाजरे का आटा.

The word baajre is the oblique form of baajra (millet) because it is followed by the postposition ka.

baajre ka aataa

The word आटा (aataa), meaning flour, shares a common ancestor with the Ancient Greek verb ἀλέω (aleō), which means 'to grind'.
In traditional rural Indian cooking, बाजरे का आटा is often hand-patted into flatbreads called 'rotis' without using a rolling pin.
While बाजरे का आटा is a staple in Rajasthan and Haryana, the word बाजरा refers specifically to pearl millet, which is just one of many millet types used in India.
