   When preparing batters for idlis or dosas, use warm water to achieve a smooth and lump-free consistency. 
3. Combine with Other Ingredients 
   Mix rava flour with curd, spices and vegetables to make quick and delicious snacks like rava uttapam. 
4. Experiment with Flavours 
   Add cardamom, saffron or jaggery to rava flour for unique and flavourful desserts. 
5. Store Properly 
   Store rava flour in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to maintain freshness.
