What to know about Double Horse Modak Flour
Plain rice flour: all starch, nothing added
Double Horse Modak Flour is a 500 g pack of rice powder, the only ingredient on the label. The pack names it both rice flour and modak flour, with the Tamil name for kozhukattai flour on the front. It is bought by home cooks for steamed dumplings with sweet or savoury fillings.
Per 100 g it has 380 kcal, 89 g carbohydrate, 6 g protein and 2 g fibre. Sugar, fat, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared as 0 g. The pack's serve is 1/4 cup (45 g), which gives 172 kcal, 3 g protein and 40 g carbohydrate, and the pack counts 11 servings.
The name and the ingredient list agree: it is rice and nothing else, with no additive, flavour or preservative. What it lacks is any real protein, fibre or micronutrient content, because milled rice is mostly starch. CleanPlate scores it EB2.
Why Double Horse Modak Flour scores EB2
Nutrition is an E because 89 g carbohydrate per 100 g comes with only 6 g protein and 2 g fibre. Ingredients are a B for a single plain item, and risk is a 2 on energy alone.

01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 6 g per 100 g and fibre is 2 g, against 89 g of carbohydrate and 380 kcal. Rice flour is a starch base, so the protein is low for its calories and earns little credit.
Only calcium is declared among the micronutrients, at 12 mg per 100 g. Nothing else adds to the grade, which is why it lands at the bottom.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is one item, rice powder, so there are no additives, sweeteners, flavours or hydrogenated fats to cost ingredient points. Nothing on the front promises more than the flour delivers.
A refined, single-grain ingredient keeps it at a B rather than higher. No percentage is printed, but a one-item list does not need one.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 2
Sugar, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium are all declared at 0 g, so none of them moves the risk number. The only driver is energy, 380 kcal per 100 g.
That energy figure sets the 2. One 45 g serve is 172 kcal, which is moderate for a base ingredient.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

The ingredient list, read for you
The label lists one ingredient, rice powder, with no percentage printed because there is nothing else to share it with. It supplies the starch that holds modak and kozhukattai dough together once it is mixed with hot water.
Ingredients to watch
- Refined starchWorth watching
89 g carbohydrate per 100 g, about 40 g in a 45 g serve, with 2 g fibre per 100 g.
- Low proteinWorth watching
6 g per 100 g, about 3 g in a serve, so the filling has to supply the protein.
- Single ingredientFine
Rice powder only, with no additives, flavours or preservatives.
- Sugar, fat and sodiumFine
Declared as 0 g for sugar, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat and sodium.
What it doesn’t have
- No iron, potassium or vitamin D is declared, and calcium is only 12 mg per 100 g.

Recipes with Double Horse Modak Flour
Use it for modak or kozhukattai, and fill them with vegetables, lentils or grated coconut to bring protein and fibre to a base that has little.
Modak with coconut and jaggery filling
A 45 g serve of flour is 172 kcal before the filling, so keep the sweet filling modest.
Savoury kozhukattai with vegetables
Fill with chopped vegetables or lentils to add the fibre and protein that the flour lacks, at 2 g and 6 g per 100 g.
Steamed dumplings with a paneer or sprouts filling
Steaming adds no fat, and a protein-rich filling lifts a serve past the 3 g protein the flour gives.
