Notes : broken rice is available in stores or can be prepared by following method

You can use basmathi rice or sona masoori(pachari). I used sona masoori. wash and soak rice for 5 min. then drain it on a news paper or kitchen towel. Slightly grind it using mixer grinder in to a coarse texture(it should look like medium sized crystals)sieve in order to remove any powder, otherwise your puttu will turn sticky .this can be stored in an air tight container.it is better prepare rice rava in advance as this process is time consuming.
