* Preparation of Rice rava:

Wash and soak rice for at least 2 hours. After 2 hours, drain all the excess water and spread on a clean cloth. Dry them under direct sunlight until all the moisture is lost (even the cloth should become dry). Now transfer the dried rice in to a blender and grind in to coarse powder like semolina. Sieve this coarse powder, until the fine powder gets separated. This can be used as rice flour and the coarse mixture left over on the sieve can be used as rice rava.
