How to Make Rice Flour at Home
Learn how to make rice flour at home in just a few easy steps with this tried and tested recipe.
Ingredients
- 250 g Thai white Rice raw
- Water for washing & soaking
Instructions
- Take the required quantity of rice you will need. I used 250g of Thai white rice.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly in water a couple of times. Put the rice into a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 2 hours. Soaking helps the rice grains to grind well.
- Once done, drain the water completely using a metal strainer.
- Spread the soaked rice on a clean towel (or a few layers of paper towels) to dry for 30 min or so in the shade. Do not dry in the sun. All the water should be absorbed by the towel and the rice should be just slightly dry but not wet or completely dry.
- Grind the rice into a fine powder using a powerful grinder. Do it in batches to avoid overloading.
- Repeat this process until all the rice has been finely ground.
- Take the rice flour in a sieve and then sift it. After sieving you will see some rice grains in the sieve. Return them back to the grinder jar, grind and sift again. Repeat this process to gain rice flour as much as you can. Or you can use rice grains to make any recipe that calls for rice rava or coarsely ground rice.
- Now spread the rice flour on a clean paper/plate and let it dry in the shade (by covering it with another piece of paper over the flour) for some more time till it’s completely dry. Do not dry in the sun.
