Equipment

• Mixer
• Siever

Ingredients

  

1 Cup = 250 ML, 1 tsp = 5 ML

• 1 Cup Raw Rice
• Water (For Soaking)

Instructions

 

• To prepare this rice flour, RAW RICE only is used. I used IR 20 variety if you don't get, it can be replaced with Sona Masoori.
• Soak the rice in water for a minimum time of 2 to 3 hours.
• Rinse the rice well to remove any dirt. Then, drain the water completely.
• Spread the rice in a cloth, so that the excess water gets absorbed. Leave it for 45 minutes, never dry it under the sun, there should be faint moisture leftover in the rice.
• There should be little moisture content in the rice (when you press your hand over the rice, few grains should stick).
• Now, transfer the rice to a dry mixer.
• Pulse the rice to a smooth powder.
• Transfer the ground powder over a sieve and sift it till you get a rava / sooji like mixture. Also, you can grind the remaining rice particles and sift again.
• Heat a pan, then lower the flame completely and add the ground rice powder.
• Just dry roast it for 2 minutes, ensure not to change the white colour of the flour. This step is optional but it increases the shelf life and you can instantly use to prepare snacks and a time saver method too.
• Once the rice flour cools down, transfer it to a clean and dry vessel.
• To check the flour consistency, just draw a line and it should come without any gaps continuously.

7. Do the dry roasting in low flame for 2 minutes only and ensure not to change the white colour of the flour. This step is optional but it increases the shelf life of the flour and you can directly use it when preparing snacks.
