Notes
It is important to grind the rice when mildly wet because if it is dry, it will not grind properly.
As you’re using slightly wet rice, use the rice flour immediately. To store it, you need to dry out this flour on the plate before storing.
If you are grinding in bulk give it to a mill so that the grinding is even and fine too.
It is best to soak the rice in water for at least 1-2 hours. (sometimes depends on the rice variety, my rice took 30 to 45 min.)
Soaking longer eases grinding and gives you softer flour.
1 cup rice yields 2 cups rice flour. I prefer to make fresa h batch of rice flour as and when required.
I always prefer to store leftover rice flour in the refrigerator.
You can use the same process to prepare brown rice flour but just increase the soaking time of rice to 3 to 4 hours.
