Upwas Bhajni Flour is a traditional flour blend prepared from grains and ingredients commonly used during fasting days in many Indian households. Such blends are typically made from ingredients suitable for fasting recipes and ground into a ready flour. The grains used in this product are sourced from farmers associated with Kalsubai Millets and cultivated using natural farming practices without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides.

In Maharashtrian kitchens, fasting bhajni flour is used to prepare dishes such as thalipith, pancakes, or other flatbread-style preparations eaten during fasting days. The flour is mixed with water or curd and cooked on a tawa to make quick meals suitable for fasting occasions.

According to the Indian Food Composition Tables (ICMR-NIN), grains and pseudocereals contain carbohydrates and plant protein. These nutrients include naturally occurring carbohydrates and protein present in cereal grains and related crops. [VERIFY: ICMR-NIN data needed for specific ingredients used in this flour blend]

Choosing flour made from naturally grown ingredients means the grains are sourced directly from farmers rather than large commercial supply chains. At Kalsubai Millets, the crops are cultivated without chemical fertilisers or synthetic pesticides and processed with minimal handling. Purchasing through a farmer producer company helps support farmer incomes while maintaining transparency about sourcing.

This flour is prepared by grinding selected ingredients used in fasting recipes into a ready-to-use flour blend. It is processed in small batches and can be used directly to prepare fasting dishes at home.
