  1. Madam, I visit your site often and tried some dishes. I want to know whether it is raw rice and how to make the rava, in mixie or in flourmill. If in mixie, can we get even sized rava?

    • Hi Latha,

      It is raw rice. To make in large quantity, just wash the rice with water and put it in a clean cloth and spread it. Allow to dry in shade. Then send it to mill for grinding it to a rawa consistency. For small quantity, same way you can wash and dry the rice and then grind it coarsely in the mixie. In both the cases, it will not be even sized rawa. You have to seive it using a Rawa Sieve (it will have slightly bigger holes than the flour sieve). When you seive it, the fine powder will go down and even sized rawa will remain on the top of the seive which you have to use it.

  2. Idly rawa and rice rawa both r same

    • Hi Soma,

      Yes both are same. However for rice rawa is prepared at home by washing the rice and drying it in shade and then ground to a fine rawa consistency. Whereas, idli rawa is mostly sold at shops.

  3. You didn’t specify onion in the ingredients.But it is in the photo!
