Arborio Rice Coating
With a spice mill, you can grind the rice in small batches. But I like to have extra around to add to "risottos" made out of grains other than Arborio rice. Or to use as a thickener for gravies, soups, and stews.

Directions
Put the rice in a blender and grind until very fine. Shake out into a large bowl and add the semolina, flour, salt, and pepper. Toss until well blended. Store in a sealed container in the freezer to maintain maximum freshness.

Chef's Note: This is one place I do use table salt. In general I prefer kosher salt and gray salt, but kosher salt is too heavy and will not stay distributed throughout the coating.

Instead of 'deep fried', say 'crispy'.  It makes you feel better about what you're eating.
Quick Tip:
If you like an even crunchier texture, substitute polenta for the semolina.
