  Yes ofcourse, Idly rava is made from parboiled (puzhungal arisi)rice and Rice rava is from raw rcie (Pachai arisi). Moreover the the texture of idly rava is very coarse and grainy, needs lot of water to cook, whereas the other one is very powdery like sooji.
  Idly rava is used for making idlis and rice rava is for upma and piddi kozhukattais.
