After my hunt on finding a the best tawa for roti in Germany, it was time to actually buy the ingredients for chapatti in Germany.

In this blog, I will suggest where to buy atta in germany for your rotis, and also which available Flour (mehl) can you use to make your own atta.

Best Atta for Roti in Germany – Ranking my verdict

1. Elephant Atta – Easy handling, no mixing of two flours, simple atta and water for the perfect roti.
2. Weizennmehl (1050) + Vollkorn Weizenmehl (from Rewe) in the ratio of 2:1.
3. Dinkelmehl (1050) – Add 1tbsp of yogurt in the dough as dinkelmehl rolls out a hard dough on its on.
4. Denn’s Biomarkt (and also Alnatura in many cities) usually has an in-store grain mill (Getreidemühle) where customers can mill their own flour from organic grains like wheat, spelt (Dinkel), or rye.
   Note* Milling fresh means the flour keeps more nutrients and has a richer flavor but also spoils faster, so store it in an airtight container

Types of Atta in Germany

• Traditional Atta (from Indian/Pakistani stores) – e.g. Aashirvaad, Pillsbury, Elephant, TRS.
• Whole Wheat Flour from German Supermarkets – e.g. Vollkornmehl, Weizenvollkornmehl.
• Organic & Health Store Options – e.g. Bio wheat flours from Alnatura, DM Bio, Denn’s Biomarkt.

Where to Buy Atta in Germany

• Indian/Pakistani/Asian Grocery Stores – in major cities like Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Munich.
• Online Stores – Amazon.de, Spicelands.de, Get-Groceries.de, DesiBasket.de.
• Local German Supermarkets – REWE, Edeka, Kaufland, Lidl (for substitutes like Vollkornmehl)

Best Alternatives if You Can’t Find Atta

• Mixing Vollkornmehl (wholemeal flour) with a bit of Weizenmehl Type 1050 for softer rotis. Mixing different types of flours in Germany can yield the best results sometimes.
• Trying Dinkelmehl 1050 (spelt flour) for a slightly nutty, healthy option.
  Note* Expect Dinkelmehl dough to be rather hard as compared to Weizenmehl if using on its own.

Tips for Choosing the Right Flour

• Look for fine grind (feiner gemahlen).
• Try smaller packs before buying big 10kg bags.
• Store in airtight containers to avoid insects.

Price Comparison

• Atta in Indian stores (€12–€20 for 10kg).
• Organic German alternatives (often smaller packs, slightly pricier).
