METHOD

Wash by gently brushing raw rice with your fingers in sufficient water. Drain. Repeat process twice.
Soak cleaned rice in water for atleast 6 hours.
Drain soaked rice in a colander. Ensure water is completely drained.

On a kitchen towel, gently spread a thin layer of the drained rice. Let it sit on the towel for about 3 to 4 minutes.

In batches, grind rice to smooth powder. Once one batch is ground, sieve it and the granular bits that stay on the sieve, grind the same along with the remaining rice.
Sieve the second batch also, after grinding them to a smooth powder.
Store the fine rice flour in an airtight container.
