  2. how to make rice rawa, is t available @ store

    • It is available in Stores too. We can also make it at home. Just wash raw rice and spread it on a clean cloth and allow to dry in shade. Grind it coarsely and sieve it. If you have good quality rice, you can straight away put it in the mixie and grind it coarsely. Sieve it and store it.
