How to prepare rice flour for Kozhukkattai If you grind in a flour mill you will get fine flour. If you do it in a mixture grinder you will not get that much soft. but if you grind the rice after 'wash and dry' you will get good flour, which will give you good 'bakshanam' ok ya? here I am giving the procedure of 'kalaindhu vularthum mavu' ok? well, you have to wash the rice for 2 - 3 times to remove the dirt in the rice. That is all no need to soak rice. Now drain the water and put the rice in a cloth under fan. NOT UNDER SUN LIGHT. Say 1/2 an hour to 1 hour. Let it retain some moisture. Then grind the rice in a mixer grinder and sieve and get good 'rice flour' use it for all snacks. By doing this you will get 'very white kozhukattai' - vellai veler kozhukattai
