This process is a catalyst in the chances of explosions in the kitchen as the moisture in the rice-flour is what causes it. Our Grandmothers and Mothers might seamlessly make these irresistible snacks but we, as simpletons need to be cautious while venturing to attampt making Uppu Seedai. To make life easier, a good substitute is rice-flour that can be roasted to be given the same consistency. This is a crucial step as finely roasting the rice-flour without letting it turn brown is truly an art.
