Atta flour is called "whole wheat flour" in English. It is a type of flour made from ground whole wheat grains and is commonly used in Indian and South Asian cuisine to make various bread and pastry items, including chapati, roti, paratha, and puri. Whole wheat flour (atta) retains the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat grain, making it more nutritious and fiber-rich compared to refined flours. It has a slightly coarse texture and a nutty flavor, which adds to its distinctiveness in traditional recipes.
