things people ask

• How many grams in a tablespoon of millet flour?
  About 7.4 g for a level tablespoon. Heaping runs closer to 10 g, which matters when you're building a roux or thickening dal — two heaping tablespoons can push a sauce from silky to pasty. For dredging fish or okra before frying, exact weight is less important than even coverage, and a heaping spoon is fine.
• Can millet flour replace wheat flour as a sauce thickener?
  Yes, with caveats. Millet flour thickens at roughly the same rate as wheat — one tablespoon (7.4 g) per cup of liquid gives a light gravy. It cooks out faster than wheat and doesn't develop the same raw-flour taste, which suits Indian gravies and bean stews. It won't gel as cleanly as cornstarch, so expect a softer, slightly grainy body.
• Is one tablespoon of millet flour enough to dust a fish fillet?
  For a single 150-180 g fillet, one tablespoon (7.4 g) covers the top side; two tablespoons gets both sides with light coverage. The flour browns more quickly than wheat in hot oil because of its lower protein, so drop the pan temperature slightly and watch the colour — it goes from gold to dark in under a minute.
