There is no need to prepare the flour at home . Good branded flours are easily available and for convenience you can always opt for such flours . I have used only store bought raw rice flour ( even idiappam flour can be used )
I have also used store bought udad dal flour . However if you are unable to get udad dal flour from stores , you can look online for it . Otherwise just fry roast udad dal , blend it to a smooth fine powder , sieve and store . Use it in Diwali snacks recipes which uses udad dal flour .
