How To Make Rice Flour

• Get raw rice from the market. The quality of the rice determines the quality of the flour.
• Wash and clean the rice in running tap water.
• Soak it in cold water overnight or at least for few hours.
• Drain the water and hold the rice in a colander.
• Now, spread this rice in a clean sheet or cheese cloth and allow it to dry. Sun drying is always a better option than shadow drying. During severe winter I also depend on oven-drying method (But, that’s something I wouldn’t suggest to others).
• Once its super-dry…blend them in a heavy-duty blender.
• Then, sieve the flour for larger particles and discard the same.
• The collected fine dust of rice flour is good for storing.
• Use it as you please. Enjoy cooking.
