Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye and barley. Intolerance to this protein by an individual is termed as gluten intolerance or gluten sensitivity. Currently there is no cure for this condition. The only thing to be followed is avoid these foods which you are intolerant to. However some people who have wheat as their staple food, find it difficult to do so. This section is specially dedicated to ‘cooking without wheat and its products’.
There are many other grains and their flours available which can be explored. Have a look at the variety of delicacies made using these flours and you are sure to overcome the myth that cooking gluten free is challenging. You can try a variety of flours like jowar flour, nachni flour, soya flour, rice flour, buckwheat flour, bajra flour, rajgira flour, besan as well as brown rice flour. All you need to eliminate from your pantry is wheat flour, rye, barley, semolina (rava), maida, pastas and noodles made with semolina and durum wheat. Oats is another ingredient which is best avoided by gluten intolerant individuals.
