Jay Brand Roasted White Rice Flour 1kg

Roasted white rice flour is the base of the Sri Lankan and South Indian breakfast table: string hoppers, pittu, kozhukattai and soft rotti. Jay Brand grind raw white rice and dry roast it, which cooks out the raw taste and lets the flour take boiling water without turning gluey.

How to use it

For string hoppers, pour boiling salted water over the flour a little at a time and work it with a spoon until it forms a soft, smooth dough. Press it through an idiyappam mould onto steaming trays and steam for eight to ten minutes. For pittu, rub in just enough warm water and grated coconut to make damp crumbs, then layer into a pittu bamboo and steam. The flour also thickens soups and stews and works in gluten free cakes and biscuits, though it will not make a risen loaf.
