फरा बनाने के लिए सबसे पहले बचे हुए पके हुए चांवल को ले ,उसमें ३-४ छोटे चम्मच चांवल का आटा मिलाएं।  अब एक कप में गरम पानी ले।  और चांवल के मिश्रण में गरम पानी डाल कर गूँथ लें।  अब हथेलियों में थोड़ा तेल फैलाएं और छोटी छोटी लोइयां तोड़कर हथेलियों के बीच आकर दें।  जब सारा आटा लंबी उँगलियों के आकर में बदल जाये तब थोड़ा सरसों दाना ,सफ़ेद तिल ,साबूत लाल मिर्च ,लहसून के टुकड़े और मीठी नीम पत्ता डाल कर तड़का दें और ऊपर से थोड़ा पानी डालें ,नमक स्वादानुसार मिलाएं और तुरंत ही तैयार किये हुए फरों को मिला दें। तुरंत ही ढंके और कुछ समय  पकने दें।  ५ मिनट पश्चात् ढक्कन खोलें और फरों को पलट कर पकने दें। अगले ५ मिनट तक फरों को मध्यम आंच में पकने दें और कुरकुरा होने तक सेंके. गरमा गरम कुरकुरे फरे  तैयार है। इन्हे हरी चटनी या आचार के साथ खाएं। 

नोट : फरे छत्तीसगढ़ी पारम्परिक व्यंजन है जिसे सुबह नाश्ते पर या दोपहर में चाय के साथ खाया जा सकता है।  यह शक्ति से भरपूर और जल्दी बनने वाला खाना है। यह ग्लूटेन फ्री रेसिपी में अच्छा विकल्प हो सकता है।
