Lakpura Kurakkan Flour

Kurakkan, which is known as finger millet or ragi (Scientifically known as Eleusine coracana) is widely grown as a cereal crop in some parts of the world but has been used as a staple in Sri Lanka over centuries. Our Lakpura Kurakkan Flour is manufactured methodically where the whole grains are thoroughly screened, washed and dried before the milling process. This enables us to get rid of all kinds of impurities while hygiene is considered as top priority in doing so.

Kurakkan flour is usually used to cook up roti, porridge, pittu and even sweetmeats during the festive Sinhala and Tamil New Year.
