Home made rice flour

Home made rice flour:
  •  First note that if you take one cup of rice it will yield nearly 1.5 cup of flour. But doesnt matter if you make more flour as you can store it for future use.
  • So in this case take three cups of regular rice you use for cooking. Wash them twice or thrice in cold water. Drain the water thoroughly.
  • Spread a newspaper or white cloth on a table or on a flat surface where you get enough air or sunlight ( well but no dust or nasty/naughty birds/rats). 
  • Spread the wet rice on the cloth/paper and let it try for 15 mts. Moisture should be gone but still the rice should be mildly wet to touch.
  • Now take the rice and grind it to fine powder. Sieve it well to take aside finely ground powder and repeat the process of grinding to get a nice fine powder of all remaining wet rice. 
  • Your rice flour is ready to use on recipe. But one important point is, what you do with excess rice flour. Before you store it in a sealed container keep the fact in mind that you have made it with a wet rice and the flour has this moisture in it. So we have to roast them ( not brown but hot enough to get steam from it while roasting) and allow them to cool to room temperature before we store them in a sealed container. If we dont do it, the moist rice flour will develop fungus overnight.
