things people ask

• Can I swap millet flour cup-for-cup for all-purpose flour?
  Not reliably. Without gluten, a full cup of millet flour produces a crumbly, dry result in cakes and breads. Most GF baking formulas cap millet at 25-30% of the blend, with the rest covered by starches (tapioca, potato) and a binder like xanthan gum. For bajra roti or millet pancakes — recipes built around the flour — a straight cup at 119 g is fine because the structure doesn't depend on gluten.
• Why does my millet flour weigh less per cup than wheat flour?
  Millet kernels grind into a slightly coarser, drier flour than wheat, and the particles don't pack as tightly. A spooned-and-leveled cup lands around 119 g versus 120-125 g for all-purpose. The difference is small but matters in GF blends where you're stacking three or four flours and starches — weighing each component keeps the ratio honest.
• Does sifting millet flour change the cup weight?
  Yes, modestly. Millet flour clumps less than wheat because it's gluten-free, but commercial stone-ground millet still settles on the shelf. Sifting drops the cup weight by 5-10 g, to roughly 110-114 g. If a GF recipe says 'sift, then measure,' sift first or weigh after — otherwise your blend skews heavy on millet and the loaf turns dense.
