Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between regular and roasted rava? Roasted rava has been pre-toasted, giving it a nuttier flavor and preventing lumps during cooking. It also saves preparation time in the morning.

Can roasted upma rava be used for halwa? Yes — roasted semolina makes an excellent halwa with ghee, sugar and milk. The pre-roasted texture gives the halwa a deeper, more developed flavor.
