Some yummy looking Indian recipes here at this blog I just discovered...

Speaking of Indian, I bought a big bag of Atta flour to make roti (a complete failure). Can I use
this flour as a one-for-one substitute for regular whole wheat flour?
Here's what Answer says about it's composition:
Atta flour uses the germ and the endosperm, but not the bran. Bran fibre is insoluble, so atta flour is a much lighter more easily digested flour.
So, will it affect how a whole wheat bread recipe would turn out, other than having lower fiber?

According to the answer at Yahoo, you can. See the links they provide.
I used chappati flour which is the same as atta flour to make garlic rotis sans the paste. You might want to try the Indian recipe I used (see Image link) for better results.

No it wasn't tough but is certainly more dense than a store-bought
soft tortilla. I followed the directions:
"- - - 1. Sieve both the flours. Add 1tbsp butter, salt and sufficient warm water to make a pliable dough."
Also, and just like making tortillas, you should warm them on each side in a dry fry pan on medium heat just enough to make them pliable and eat at once.
