  9. Thanx for dropping by chitra n regarding your query,you can prepare roasted rice flour by just placing the required amount of flour in a kadai and warm it up,keep stirring continously on low medium heat and wait for 5-10 minutes,when you feel the aroma of plain flour disappears.You can stop the flame and pour the flour on a plain paper to cool down.(Make sure you don't burn up or brown up the flour,so keep the heat accordingly)Sometimes lumps do form,don't worry-you can just blend it in the blender once its cooled down.Hope it helps.
