Rice Flourचावल का आटा (Chawal ka Atta)
Properties
Rice Flour is a fine, powdery flour milled from either white or brown rice. It has a neutral, very mild flavor and is extremely popular in gluten-free baking and Asian cuisines. Because it lacks gluten, it cannot provide the elasticity of wheat flour, but it excels as a thickening agent, a crisp coating for fried foods, and the base for traditional Indian snacks like chakli or South Indian idiyappam and dosa batters.
