HOW TO PREPARE HOME MADE RICE FLOUR ( HOME MADE RICE FLOUR RECIPE)

Rice flour is very common in south indian cooking. We can make varius savouries and sweets with the rice flour.

If we prepare the rice flour in bulk we can grind the cleaned washed and dried rice in mill.

Otherwise we can prepare freshly in home whenever required.

In this post I have given the way of making fresh rice flour in home, which we mostly used to prepare the dishes for neivethiyam to offer to god.

For general purpose you can wash the raw rice(pacha arisi) and then drain the water completely.

Dry the washed rice under sunlight till all the moisture is gone. Then grind it in the rice mill as a smooth powder.

Store in a sir tight container and use whenever required.

We can make kozhukkattais and savouries like murukku, pakoda etc., with this rice flour. Also can be used in our daily cooking in curries(kuzhambu) as thickening agent.

OK, now let’s move on to this recipe of making fresh home made rice flour.
