Heera Semolina Coarse (Moti Suji/Ladoo Rava) 375g – For Upma, Ladoo & Halwa

Description

The Perfect Grain for Texture: Heera Semolina Coarse (Moti Suji)

Discover the secret to authentic texture in many classic Indian dishes with Heera Semolina Coarse (Moti Suji/Ladoo Rava) 375g. This high-quality, coarsely granulated semolina, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm, is made from purified durum wheat middlings. Its larger grain size, compared to fine semolina, makes it the preferred choice for recipes where a distinct, grainy, and non-pasty texture is desired, such as in traditional Upma, Halwa, and Ladoos.

 The Coarse Semolina Advantage

While fine semolina is great for smooth preparations, coarse semolina (often called Moti Suji, meaning “pearl semolina”) offers unique benefits:

• Distinct Granular Texture: The larger granules remain more separate when cooked, providing a pleasing, non-sticky, and grainy mouthfeel, which is essential for authentic Upma and some styles of Halwa.
• Ideal for Sweets like Ladoo: Often referred to as “Ladoo Rava,” its texture is perfect for making Rava Ladoos, where the individual grains, bound with sugar and ghee, are a key part of the experience.
• Adds Extra Crispness: When used in batters or as a coating for fried items, the coarse grains provide a superior, crunchy texture.
• Absorbs Flavors While Retaining Texture: Soaks up the flavors of spices and liquids without breaking down completely and becoming mushy.
• Versatile Kitchen Ingredient: A staple in many Indian households for a variety of breakfast dishes, sweets, and snacks.
• Trusted Heera Quality: Heera is a well-regarded brand, ensuring consistent granulation and quality for your culinary needs.

Culinary Uses for Heera Semolina Coarse

• Upma: The quintessential choice for making fluffy, separate-grained savory breakfast porridge with vegetables and spices.
• Rava Ladoo: The perfect base for making these popular sweet balls with ghee, sugar, and nuts.
• Sooji Halwa / Rava Kesari: Ideal for a more grainy, traditional style of this rich dessert.
• Idli & Dosa (for crispness): A small amount can be added to Idli or Dosa batters to create a crispier texture, especially in Rava Dosa.
• Batters & Coatings: Add to pakora batters or use as a coating for fish, chicken, or cutlets for an extra-crispy finish.
• Dhokla: Used in some recipes for steamed savory cakes like Rava Dhokla.
• Savory Cakes (Handvo): Can be a component in savory baked dishes.

Tips for Cooking with Coarse Semolina

• Roasting coarse semolina (moti suji) in a dry pan or with a little ghee until it is fragrant and lightly colored is a crucial first step for most recipes like Upma and Halwa. This prevents lumps and brings out its nutty flavor.
• It may require slightly more liquid and a longer cooking time than fine semolina.
