Kurakkan bread is a nutritious and hearty flatbread made from kurakkan flour, also known as finger millet flour, a staple in South Asian cuisine, particularly in Sri Lanka and parts of India. This gluten-free bread boasts a rich, earthy flavor and a dense texture, often complemented by a touch of coconut or spices like cumin. Kurakkan flour is highly valued for its impressive nutritional profile, being rich in dietary fiber, essential minerals like calcium and iron, and low in fat. Its high fiber content supports digestion, while its low glycemic index makes it a great option for managing blood sugar levels. Often prepared with minimal ingredients, kurakkan bread is free from processed additives, aligning with a whole-foods diet. However, its dense nature means it might feel heavier than typical breads, so pair it with light accompaniments for balance. It's an excellent option for gluten-free and health-conscious eaters.
