How to make rice flour at home (Homemade Rice Flour)

Tweet

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 :

• Ulunthu kozhukattai
• Uppu seedai
• Modakam
• Ammini kozhukattai etc

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.
