Annam Upma Rava (Coarse Semolina/Sooji) 1kg

The Authentic Choice for Perfect, Fluffy Upma

Discover the secret to making restaurant-quality, non-sticky Upma at home with Annam Upma Rava (Coarse Semolina/Sooji) in a generous 1kg pack. This specialty product from the trusted Annam brand, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, is a coarsely granulated semolina, often known as Moti Suji or Lapsi. Its larger grain size is specifically selected for preparing Upma, the beloved savory breakfast porridge from South India, ensuring a light, fluffy, and perfectly textured dish every time.

The "Upma Rava" Difference: Coarse vs. Fine

While fine semolina is used for sweets, the coarser texture of Upma Rava is essential for achieving the classic Upma consistency.

• Distinct Granular Texture: The larger granules absorb water without breaking down completely, preventing the dish from becoming pasty or mushy. The result is a fluffy Upma where you can feel the individual grains.
• Guaranteed Non-Sticky Results: This is the primary reason cooks choose Upma Rava. It's the key to an authentic, non-lumpy Upma.
• Rich, Nutty Flavor when Roasted: Like all semolina, its flavor is tremendously enhanced when roasted before cooking, releasing a beautiful, nutty aroma.
• Versatile for Other Dishes: While perfect for Upma, its coarse texture is also ideal for making savory cakes like Rava Dhokla or adding a crunchy texture to other preparations.
• Trusted Annam Quality: Annam is a brand celebrated for its authentic South Indian staples, ensuring this Rava is clean, consistent, and of high quality.

How to Make Delicious Upma with Annam Upma Rava

1. Roast the Rava (Crucial Step): In a dry, heavy-bottomed pan, dry-roast the required amount of Annam Upma Rava on low-medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until it turns fragrant and very lightly golden. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Tempering (Tadka): In the same pan, heat ghee or oil. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add urad dal, chana dal, and peanuts (optional) and fry until golden.
3. Sauté Aromatics: Add chopped onions, green chillies, ginger, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
4. Add Water: Add hot water to the pan (typically a 1:2 or 1:2.5 ratio of rava to water, check pack for specifics) along with salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
5. Combine: Lower the heat and slowly pour in the roasted Rava while stirring continuously with your other hand to prevent lumps.
6. Cook: Mix well, cover the pan, and cook on low heat for 3-5 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the Rava is soft and fluffy.
7. Finish: Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice. Serve hot.
