Hi there, please could someone tell me if there is any difference between maize flour and cornflour/meal that Mamta uses in the corn flour and potato kachauri -Indian bread recipe?

Hi,

corn is maize, so it is the same. But be carefull, in British English cornflour is cornstarch.

Cronmeal/Maize meal that I am talking about is the same one as used to make polenta. Cat is right, the English cornmeal is very fine and is corn starch, not at all suitable for making Indian breads.
