    Dear I believe it is broken rice. The ratio is 1 portion URud dhal 3 portions rice. The advantage is need not soak rice for more time. Soak urud dal for 3 hrs and rice for 2 hrs. First grind urud dal finely and rice for 1 minute. Add salt. Allow to ferment for 6 to 8 hours. And make idlli.

    In Andhra, idlis are made using this rava.Even though, they are not as smooth as the ones made of ground rice, they are soft.
    For 1 cup of urad dal soak 2 cups of idli rava for 2 hours.Squeeze the water well. Remember, this rava holds plenty of water.Hence this step is important.
    Grind little, if you don't like coarse idlis and proceed as usual.
    Hope this helps.
