Traditional Rice Flour Milling Process

The video tutorial explains the traditional process of using a water mill to grind rice into flour. It begins with an introduction to the water mill, describing its function in moving the flour grinder. The process, which has been used for decades, involves connecting a pestle to a windmill powered by river water. As the mill turns, the grinder moves, crushing the rice. The ground rice is then sifted to separate fine and coarse flour. The coarse flour can be ground again for a finer texture. Despite being traditional, many people still use this method due to the quality of flour it produces.
