In the below picture you can notice a glass bowl with batter its none other than athirasam batter.

Method

• 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.
• 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 spread ed rice.
• Now the soft rice flour (Pic 6) can be used to make snacks.
• 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 and 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…
