Notes
Add water slowly and mix the rice flour into a watery mixture. If we prepare fresh rice flour the Porridge is very tasty.
To make rice flour the rice must be dry. Hence wipe them dry using a cloth.
The amount of rice flour might vary hence add in the rice flour slowly. If the mixture is too thick stop adding rice flour.
