Grind the soaked rice into fine powder.In India usually the powder made in a mill.Here we can do it using mixie.Grind the rice and sieve the powder to remove coarser grains.Grind the coarser grains and sieve again.The end powder should be in smooth texture.

Now take the powder into a bowl and add sesame seeds,salt mix well.Then knead by adding water little by little in order to make it as smooth dough.The dough should be little bit thinner than chapathi dough.

Spread a clean cotton cloth .
