This product is a type of semolina or sooji that has been pre-roasted.
Rava (also known as Sooji or Semolina) is a coarse flour made from durum wheat.
"Roasted" signifies that the rava has been dry-roasted, which imparts a nutty flavor and aroma, enhances its shelf life, and reduces cooking time, making it highly convenient for meal preparation.
It is a versatile ingredient used extensively in Indian cuisine for both savory and sweet dishes.
It is a good source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and contains dietary fiber which aids digestion. It is also often low in fat and cholesterol-free.
Due to its pre-roasted nature, it can be quickly prepared into dishes without the need for initial roasting at home.
It is primarily used to prepare popular dishes such as Upma (a savory porridge), Rava Dosa (a crispy pancake), Rava Idli (steamed cakes), and various sweets like Rava Kesari or Suji Halwa, and Rava Ladoo.
