Create kitchen magic withΒ Flour (Maida) 1Kg, the premium all-purpose refined wheat flour available atΒ AL MODINA Japan. Known as "Maida" in South Asia, this finely milled flour is an absolute pantry staple, celebrated for its versatility, soft texture, and high gluten content that provides the perfect elasticity for doughs and batters.
AtΒ AL MODINA Japan, we understand that the quality of your flour dictates the quality of your final dish. Whether you are a professional baker creating delicate pastries or a home cook preparing a weekend feast of Naans and Samosas, our Maida ensures consistent, superior results every time.
Maida is wheat flour that has been refined to remove the bran and germ, leaving behind the starchy endosperm.
Texture:Β It is milled to a very fine, powdery consistency, much smoother than whole wheat flour (Atta).
Color:Β It has a distinct bright white color.
Function:Β It is the "glue" that holds baked goods together. Its protein content forms gluten when mixed with water, giving breads their chew and cakes their structure.
Flour (Maida) 1KgΒ is the blank canvas of the culinary world. Its uses are endless across both Western and Asian cuisines.
Naan:Β Maida is the secret to the soft, pillowy texture of Tandoori Naan. The gluten stretches to create those signature bubbles and charred spots.
Paratha:Β For flaky, layered Lacha Parathas or stuffed Aloo Parathas, Maida provides the necessary elasticity to roll the dough thin without tearing.
Bhatura:Β The fried, puffed bread served with Chole (chickpeas) relies on Maida for its dramatic puff and golden crust.
Samosas:Β The crispy, golden shell of a samosa is made from a stiff Maida dough seasoned with ajwain seeds.
Momos & Dumplings:Β The translucent, delicate wrappers for steamed dumplings require the fine texture of refined flour.
Batter Coating:Β Mix Maida with cornstarch and spices to create a crispy batter for Pakoras, Fried Chicken, or Tempura.
Cakes & Cupcakes:Β Because it is refined, Maida produces cakes with a tender, tight crumb structure, perfect for sponges and pound cakes.
Cookies & Biscuits:Β From melting moments to crunchy digestive biscuits, Maida is the base.
Thickening Agent:Β A tablespoon of Maida mixed with butter creates a "Roux," the base for creamy white sauces, bΓ©chamel, and stews.
To get the best results from yourΒ Flour (Maida) 1Kg:
Sifting:Β Always sift the flour before using it in cakes. This aerates the flour, preventing lumps and ensuring a lighter texture.
Measuring:Β If baking, use a kitchen scale or the "spoon and level" method. Scooping directly with the cup packs the flour down, leading to dry, dense cakes.
Resting Dough:Β When making Naan or Paratha, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes. This relaxes the gluten, making it much easier to roll out.
Flour is sensitive to moisture and pests.
Airtight Container:Β Transfer the flour from the bag to a sealed plastic or glass container immediately after opening.
Cool & Dry:Β Store in a cool, dark cupboard. Humidity is the enemy of flour.
Shelf Life:Β Refined flour has a long shelf life, but for the best baking performance, try to use it within 6 months of opening.
AL MODINA JapanΒ is your trusted partner for daily essentials.
Quality Assurance:Β We source flour that is free from impurities and lumps.
Convenience:Β 1Kg is the perfect manageable size for home kitchensβenough for several recipes without taking up too much space.
Halal Certified:Β Our flour is sourced from Halal-compliant manufacturers, ensuring it is free from animal-derived additives sometimes found in dough conditioners.

Q1: Is Maida the same as All-Purpose Flour?Β A:Β Yes, for all culinary intents and purposes, Maida is very similar to All-Purpose Flour (Plain Flour). It can be used interchangeably in recipes.
Q2: Can I use this to make Roti?Β A:Β You can, but Maida Rotis will be chewy and stretchier than traditional whole wheat (Atta) Rotis. Some people mix Maida and Atta 50:50 for a softer texture.
