Ankit India Limited

Ankit Chakki Fresh Atta is made by traditional stone grinding, a process that imparts a characteristic aroma and taste, and contributes to the sweetness of the Atta. The high bran content of the wholemeal Atta makes it a fibre-rich food. There are no additives during processing or packaging, making Ankit’s Chakki Fresh Atta 100% natural.   

Ankit Special Atta is made from premium quality wheat grains. The atta is blended in a specific ratio of atta and maida. There are no additives during processing or packaging of Ankit’s special atta. The quality of the atta is such that it puffs up in no time during baking or roasting to make crisp tasty tandoori rotis. The excellent elasticity encourages optimum spreading capacity of the dough to make paper thin roomali rotis with authentic flavour.

Raw rice refers to rice that has not been treated to any kind of pre-cooking process (parboiling) before milling. It has a longer cooking time but is preferred by some segments of society for its different taste and flavour. Ankit does several varieties of raw rice such as Basmati, IR36, Sarna and Gobindo Bhog to cater to the differing tastes of consumers.

Parboiling is the term used when the paddy is pre-cooked before milling. The process involves passing steam through the paddy, and then soaking the steamed paddy in warm water for 6-8 hours. This steamed and soaked paddy is then dried and milled. Essentially, parboiling refers to the industrial pre-cooking of paddy before milling.

Without parboiling, the transfer of nutrients from the outer husk to the inner kernel would not take place and nutrients would be lost during the dehusking process. In this way, parboiled rice is considered more nutritious.

The varieties of parboiled rice that we process include : Banskati, Sarna, Miniket, Patnai and IR36
