Rice Sooji, For Cooking, Certification : FSSAI

Rice Sooji (Rava) is coarsely ground rice used in many traditional Andhra recipes like Kudumulu and Undrallu. To make the Rice Rava, Rice is soaked for at least 2 hours and then dried on a cloth till completely dry and then it is pulsed or ground in a blender coarsely.

Rice is boiled, dried and ground into fine, semolina-like powder. It is white to cream colored and has a smoother and finer texture compared to wheat semolina, which makes it suitable for mixing batters such as for making idli. Unlike wheat semolina that is made from the inner endosperm of wheat, rice semolina is made from the entire rice grain. Also, since rice is gluten free, this is a good alternative to wheat semolina for those with gluten sensitivity.
