Making Kolam Powder

kasumi12 · Jan 15, 2012

I have heard the powder used to draw Kolams and Rangolis is rice powder. Could someone please give me steps on how to make it? I am absolutely clueless. :$

Can't understand what you are asking?

I stated my question clearly, I asked how to make Rice powder for kolams.

You can buy rice powder from stores and use.There is no need to prepare in home.

How would I prepare it at home?

Take the rice and powder it.
By, mixie or taking it to mill,

ars, I do not understand what you mean by powder it or mixie. I do not have a mill in my area.

Mixie is nothing but a blender.. Buy raw rice from any indian shops & powder it using a mixie/blender... Powder it means grind it...tht's it...
If there is no mill/ blender, go to any indian super markets, and get the raw rice powder.... start using it the same...
R u asking abt the colour kolam powder...then get the color powder alone from the shops, and then u have to mix the color powder with the raw rice powder...mix it thoroughly...then u'll get the desired color... Hope this clarifies...

So, I just place raw rice into a blender and blend it?? That's easy ^^
