The Áín i Akbari (Blochmann, Jarrett) 43 - **Language:** English ### [43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.43) This belongs, properly speaking, to the preceding chapter. Bread is made in the pantry. There is a large kind, baked in an oven, made of 10 s. flour; 5 s. milk; 1½ s. g’hi; ¼ s. salt. They make also smaller ones. The thin kind is baked on an iron plate. One sér will give fifteen, or even more. There are various ways of making it: one kind is called chapātī, which is sometimes made of khushkah; it tastes very well, when served hot. For the bread used at court, one man of wheat is made to yield ½ m. of fine flour; 2 s. coarsely pounded flour; and the rest bran; if this degree of fineness be not required, the proportions are altered. - [Previous: 42.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.42.5) - [Next: 44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.44) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.admin.ain-i-akbari~en-blochmann-jarrett.43) · Pramāṇa
