             Wash and Soak the rice in water minimum 1 hour. 

             

             If longer it soaks, the smoother flour it yields.

           You should grind into a fine powder.

                           
           Sieve the ground flour using the siever (salladai).

          ground flour into a fine powder.
           
                                  

         
                    

     
         Steam this wet and fine powder in the steamer vessel (Idly  

         maker vessel) for 20 -30 minutes.
   
                       

 

          Remove the cooked powder from the steamer and 

          spread it in the cotton cloth in room (Temperature) to dry.
