I have prepared Sweet Aval (rice flakes), Moongdhall payasam, vadai, appam, vellasedai , uppu seddai and kadalai urandai ( Peanut).

For making both sedai we need rice flour.

Soak the rice for 10 minutes and dry in shade in a cotton towel. when the rice is slightly wet grind it in the rice mill. You can grind in mixer too.
