    I was also able to substitute half of the amaranth flour with quinoa (available where I live) flour and the puri turned out pretty good. It's hard to puff it though

    Dear Raje , Very healthy puri's . Thank U . Amaranth flour are considered to be a complete protein got from plants . They have all 9 of the essential amino acids that our body needs to function properly . Amaranth flour has more nutrients like Calcium , Iron , Zinc than any other grains including Quinoa , Whole wheat , Rye , Oats , Barley , Buckwheat or Millet . Amaranth flour has one of the highest percentage of fiber compared to other grains and it's naturally gluten free .
