RICE FLOUR Heera

Rice flour is a fine flour made from ground rice. It is completely gluten free, including even “glutinous rice flour,” which is made from sweet rice and is a staple for making Japanese treats like mochi. Rice flour can be used in a wide variety of culinary uses and is a very popular base for noodles in many Asian cuisines. It can also be used as a thickener in sauces, as a breading for fried dishes and as the base for various baked goods.

Rice flour is very commonly used in gluten free baked goods to give them structure and substance, but it is also a popular addition for non gluten free baked goods because of its unique and slightly sandy texture. For instance, a small amount of white rice flour in a buttery shortbread recipe can make that shortbread extra tender and crumbly, with a melt-in-your-mouth feeling. It can also add a heartiness to a yeast bread recipe when a small amount is added, since it contains no gluten and will compact a bread dough somewhat, so it can be found in some dense, whole grain breads.

It is also used as a binding and thickening agent. It is also used while roasting to give a crunchy texture.

The rice flour is used in making neer dosa, golibaje (Mangalore bajji), and rotti.

The flour is mixed with flours of wheat, millet, and other cereals to make manni, a kind of baby food.

Rice flour is a particurlaly good substitute for wheat flour, which cause irritation in the digestive systems of those who are gluten intolerant.
