Home Made Gluten Free All Purpose Flour (GF ALP)/Maida

It is very important to have a Flour blend which is not bad for our health. If it has healthy ingredients, so much better. 

However most GF flour blends either have gums or Psylium husk or milk powder added to them to get that perfect texture and taste that resemble the Gluten flour.Adding these additives are not harmful if used on rare occasions. However regular use , specially for children is not recommended.

I have also used these things in my initial days on the gluten free diet, only to understand that Gluten Free  NOT EQUAL TO Healthy. 

For those who need to be on a gluten free diet have some damage done to the Intestines, Kidneys, Brain etc. We need a diet which is less abrasive to our systems and ideally includes healing foods so that in the long run we live a happy healthy life ( of course without gluten)

The below flour blend includes Rice flour (safe and healthy) , Potato starch( Natural starch found in the most eaten vegetable, tapioca flour ( sabudana for those who are not aware of what tapioca actually is ). Below in the recipe, I have also shared a section of shopping List, regarding where you can get these ingredients.

There is no ingredient which can harm our systems in any way. So feel free to use the below blend recipe it in as many recipes you can without any ill effect on your health !!

• 2 cups rice flour ( GF rice flour )-  we also use Roasted rice flour for specific recipes. Use the raw rice flour until and unless it is mentioned to be roasted rice flour as an ingredient.

• 2/3 Cup Potato starch

• 1/3 Cup Tapioca flour Whisk together all the Ingredients and store well in an airtight container.

This blend has worked well for me in all my baking. This includes Gluten Free Cookies , Gluten Free Cakes, Gluten Free Breads et all.
