Tips & Secrets

  • Using coarse semolina is mandatory for achieving the most grainy and light results.
  • Ensuring the water is at a rolling boil before adding to the rava is the absolute secret to achieving a soft set.
  • The addition of a little ghee provide the essential richness and shine to the dish.
  • Always roast the rava beforehand; this is the key to providing the signature non-sticky mouthfeel.
