Rice Flour / Arisi Mavu: In general, making your own rice flour will save you about 50% off the cost of the store-bought rice flour. Rice flour is a type of flour that is made from finely ground rice. It differs from rice starch, which is typically made by steeping rice in lye. Rice flour is a popular wheat flour substitute. Jaggery : Depending on its composition, jaggery can taste like fresh cane juice, maple syrup, caramel, or molasses. The unrefined natural sweetener is available in a variety of colours, including light amber, golden brown, and dark brown. Jaggery is known by many different names, including gur in Urdu, gud in Hindi, and vellam in Tamil. Fresh Coconut : Fresh coconut meat tastes tropical, nutty, and slightly sweet. It has a strong flavour, particularly when dried. When coconut is roasted, it takes on a woodier flavour with hints of vanilla. Fruit, water, and milk are all popular and highly valued for their fresh, sweet, and refreshing qualities.
