Nowadays, many people have switched to healthier alternatives of whole wheat flour, which include bajra atta, chana atta, and oats atta among others. Interestingly, most brands offer these healthy flours for our convenience. One of those brands is Bagrry’s that has come with Oats Atta, which is made with whole-grain oats. It has other healthy flour additives like oat bran and wheat bran. We grabbed a 500-gram pack of Bagrry’s Oats Atta and reviewed it. Here’s what we think about it.
Did you know? Oats are high in protein and provides a lot of dietary fiber, which in turn helps you manage weight, helps reduce cholesterol, and keeps your body overall healthy. Read all the benefits of oats here.

The Process We Followed
We followed two processes to review Bagrry’s Oats Atta in our test kitchen:
- We made rotis using only Bagrry’s oats atta.
- We made rotis and paranthas using the oats atta along with whole wheat atta.
#FirstImpressions Of Bagrry’s Oats Atta
While kneading the atta, we felt that it required more water to make a softer dough as compared to that of whole wheat flour. It could be due to the presence of fiber in it. Fiber tends to absorb more water. (1)
We didn’t mix any other flour in Bagrry’s oats atta, the first time we made rotis, in order to test the overall texture and taste of the chapatis. The rotis came out well but didn’t puff up as you would get in whole wheat flour rotis. We made at least 5-6 oats chapatis and kept them in roti servers that keep the rotis from becoming soggy. We noticed that the rotis were becoming hard as they cooled down, and became more brittle and easy to break. Taste-wise, the rotis were slightly drier, and you could taste the fiber in them. You tend to feel fuller by the second roti.
The second round of using oats atta included kneading it with whole wheat flour. We mixed the two attas in the ratio 1:1 as suggested by the pack. (The newer pack suggests adding 2 cups of oats atta and one cup of whole wheat flour). This time we made both roti and paranthas. Interestingly, both of them came out to be softer and puffed up better as compared to the first process. However, both turned harder by the time they cooled down. Taste-wise, they were much lighter on our palates. The paranthas were crisp from the outside and soft from inside.
Note: Make sure you add salt to your atta if you plan to make anything other than rotis.
Overall, we think the rotis came out well. We would suggest consuming them hot and fresh, rather than keeping them for a longer time, making them hard and brittle. Adding oats chapatis in your diet will definitely be a healthier alternative to your usual whole wheat flour rotis.
