Rice Flour Fresh — Fresh Ground Rice Flour | 4 lb, 12 lb & 25 lb
Fresh Rice Flour is finely ground from whole rice grains, delivering a clean, mild flavour and smooth texture. A naturally gluten-free flour, it is an essential ingredient in South Indian cooking and is used across South Asian cuisines for a wide variety of savoury and sweet preparations. Freshly ground rice flour gives better texture and flavour than pre-packaged flour that has been sitting on a shelf — especially important for idli, dosa, and murukku where texture is everything. Available in retail and bulk sizes.
Culinary Uses:
- Idli and dosa batter — a key South Indian staple; rice flour is used alongside urad dal for the classic fermented batter
- Rice roti and akki roti — soft, unleavened flatbreads from Karnataka
- Murukku and chakli — crispy, spiral-shaped South Indian snacks
- Kozhukattai and modak — steamed rice dumplings for festivals
- Puttu — the steamed Kerala breakfast dish layered with coconut
- Gluten-free baking — as a wheat flour substitute in cakes, cookies, and flatbreads
- Thickening agent for soups, gravies, and sauces
- Appam and string hoppers (idiyappam)
How to Use: Best used fresh for optimal texture in fermented batters and snacks. For idli/dosa batter, soak and grind with urad dal. For murukku and chakli, mix with spices and knead into a firm dough before extruding and frying.
