Whole common wheat (Triticum aestivum) is used commonly to make atta, has high gluten content which provides elasticity, so dough made out of atta flour is strong and can be rolled into thin sheets.[1][3] [4] The word ‘whole’ is used to describe atta as it includes every aspect of the grain, meaning the bran, germ and the endosperm.

In India, about 80% of the 94 million tons of wheat produced is processed mainly into atta by disc mills numbering 4 lakhs. Atta was traditionally ground in the home on a stone chakki mill. This is useful when using a tandoor, where the flatbread is stuck to the inside of the oven, and also makes chapatis softer as the dough absorbs more water.
