Homemade rice flour is very handy for making indian snacks and also for festive special recipes. So thought to have a record of the ingredients and method here.

Homemade Rice flour Recipe
Ingredients:
- Raw Rice - 2 cups
If you are grinding in bulk give it to a mill so that the grinding is even and fine too. I grinded it at home using a normal mixie so had to grind it for more time in batches.
You can use the homemade rice flour for making :
Method :
First rinse the raw rice twice, and soak it in water for 1 hour. Drain water completely and then spread the raw rice in a soft towel and allow it to dry completely.
Then heat a tawa and dry roast the dried raw rice - this is to ensure that the moisture is completely gone. Grind it to a fine powder in a mixie in batches.
Add the remaining coarse powder to grind in next batch, grind it again and then sieve it. The powder should be very fine. You can even dry roast it for few mins before storing or roast it as and when needed when using it for snacks.

Cool down completely and store in a airtight container. Homemade rice flour works well for all indian snacks and festive recipes.
My Notes :
You can dry roast the rice flour before using it for snacks as amma says roasting it as that instant is more effective than roasting and storing it.

ReplyDeleteI had no idea this could be done at home! Great idea. This is my first visit to your blog, so I took a bit of extra time to browse through your earlier posts. I'm so glad I did that. I really like the food and recipes you share with your readers and I'll definitely be back. I hope you have a great weekend. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteVery useful post :) We used to soak, dry and give it to the machine and grind it. It will last for 3 to 4 months for us :) Will do your method when I need small quantity urgently :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice post sharmi. Lovely pictures too.
ReplyDeleteSharmi .. you know what. I made this powder at home for seedai and oh boy it was a pain to powder it in batches and in spite of sieving it twice I still ended up with some rava in the powder. So I have decided to carry it from India at least for making seedai :)

@Vardhini : It is always bset to give and grind it in mill but for small batches I do at home but if you grind it repeatedly and then sieve, the flour will be fine but as you say it is a pain :)

very nice and useful post :)
ReplyDeleteLove your website. Could you use brown rice for this?
ReplyDeleteGoogled about this & landed here! Have washed rice and it's soaking now.
ReplyDeleteI have a question: Srivalli's post says to soak 15-20 mins & yours says to soak 1 hour.
Does it mean soaking 20 mins or 60 mins makes no difference to the end result?
I asked amma and she said soaking for more time will make the rice softer and makes it ground easier.I am really not sure whether soaking for 20 mins will also give the same result. Hope this helps!
DeleteThanks for the quick reply, Sharmi! Good I left it for an hour, now grinding won't be a pain in the neck :D
DeleteThank you so much for sharing how to do this!
ReplyDeletecan this poweder be used as rice cereal for babies?
ReplyDelete@Anon : You can steam it and use it as its raw powder....
ReplyDeleteI prepared de fluor first i cook the rice as cooking rice normaly, after i dry the rice in a pain in the oven. When the rice is dried, is very easy to mill it in my grindr and the rice powder is very soft, is cooking and it mix very fast with other ingredients in the recipes.

Can you make teokkboki (korean snack) from this?
ReplyDelete@Anon : I am not familiar with the snack but while googling saw that it involves rice cake, so am not sure whether we can use this recipe. Sorry cudnt help u in this regard.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this great recipe. I made this but used a high quality food processor instead of a mixie, and added a little cornstarch.. came out perfect.
ReplyDeletehi Sharmi.... thanks for this useful post .. good for beginners like me in the kitchen to be good at small basics !

ReplyDeleteVery useful post indeed. Just wanted to know whether the rice has to dried in shade (like for making rava) or in the sun?
ReplyDelete@Sharanya : I just dried it indoors only..but you can sundry it for making the process quicker....
ReplyDeletethank you..
ReplyDeleteHow long i can keep this ...will get spoil soon.. what are the step i need to take to preserve it ...
ReplyDelete@Latha : Just keep in airtight container and see to it that it is out of reach from water. It keeps well for 2-3months...may be inbetween you can check and sieve it once and keep it.
