Homemade Raw Rice Flour Preparation

Wash and Soak the rice with enough water for 2 hours at least.
Drain the excess water (Pic 1) and pat dry over a cloth for 30 minutes at least (Pic 2).
Spread them well like shown in picture 2 .
After 30 minutes take a small batch at a time in a food processor (Pic 3) and grind them to fine powder (Pic 4).

Meanwhile you can cover the remaining rice so that rice won’t dry too much.
The purpose of maintaining moisture in the rice is to grind smooth and minimal leftover of coarse rice.
Sieve them well (Pic 5) and the strained coarse mixture can again be grind with the next batch rice.
Do repeat the process till you finish grinding all the spreaded rice.
Now the soft rice flour (Pic 6) can be used to make snacks like Adhirasam, Murukku/chakli, mixture, thattu vadai so and so (recipe links at the end of the post).
Measure the flour (Pic 7), dry fry it till flour reaches smoky point (but don’t burn it), after turning off the heat do mix it for 3 times at short intervals for the steam to escape.
Also once cooled completely do dry fry few more minutes to make sure its free from moisture so that it stays good in the room temperature for more days.
When its well cooled, store it in an air tight container for later use.

You can also immediately use in recipes ie the wet flour can be used in Athirasam, Murukku kind of snack items. I have listed few more recipes and click each to get the recipe…
