Rava / sooji (semolina)

Rava / sooji (semolina)

रवा / सूजी

Rice & Grains

Upma, halwa, rava dosa and a crisp coating for frying.

What to know

Dry-roast it before use. Unroasted rava makes upma pasty, and you can smell the difference when it is done.

Storing it
Airtight; refrigerate in warm weather as it attracts pantry insects.

Measures

  • 1 cup ≈ 140 g
  • 1 tbsp ≈ 10 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
