The recipe said to use instant rice,can i use raw rice instead ? or boil raw rice for some minutes before mash ?
Raw rice will need to be milled and cooked before mashing. American Budweiser uses about 45% rice to 55% barley malt. I would suggest keeping the rice percentage to 15-25%.
Check the "notes" section on this page for a quick explanation of a cereal mash:

I think rice mash will be cloudy and if i add it to main mash make it cloudy too but in above recipe (https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/cream-three-crops-cream-ale-66503/) final beer is crystal clear !!??
Have you brewed beer before?
what for ?

When I made that recipe, I used (not cooked, not flaked/ground) white rice with what appears to be full conversion. You could probably use brown rice too, but husked rice probably needs to be ground first. I did do a 30-minute protein rest at about 123°F, which may or may not have been necessary.
So you didn't use minute rice or pre boil it ?
