How to make Rice Flour at Home

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice (masuri, ponni, basmati, jasmine or any)
• water

Steps

Prepare Rice

1. Put the rice in a bowl, pour water over it and rub it well, then discard the water.
2. Repeat rinsing 3 times, then drain into a colander. Shake it gently to remove extra water and leave it in the colander for 5 mins.
3. After transferring the rice to an absorbent cloth, pat it dry.
4. Spread it on the cloth and air dry until crunchy. Alternatively, roast the rice in a pan over medium heat for 2 to 3 mins, then reduce the heat and keep roasting until crunchy. Roasting takes about 6 to 7 mins.

How To Make Rice Flour

1. Once cool, put the rice in a grinder jar and grind in intervals of 1 minute until it becomes a fine powder. For coarse flour instead, pulse the rice in the grinder.
2. Set a fine flour sieve over a large mixing bowl and put the flour into it.
3. Sieve, return any coarse grains to the grinder and grind them again.
4. If the grinder lacks enough power, grind the sieved flour again for a very, very fine result.
5. Keep the rice flour in an airtight, dry glass jar at room temperature for 2 months, or refrigerate for a year or more.
