Understanding Fine Semolina (Suji/Rava)
Semolina, known as Suji, Sooji, or Rava in India, is a coarse, purified wheat middling of durum wheat mainly used in making pasta, couscous, and sweet puddings. The “fine” variety means the granules are smaller, which affects its cooking properties and texture in dishes.

• Fine Granulation: Heera’s Fine Semolina has a delicate texture that cooks relatively quickly and results in smoother preparations compared to coarse semolina.

• Versatile for Sweet & Savory: A true all-rounder, equally at home in savory breakfast dishes like Upma or Rava Dosa, and in classic Indian sweets like Sooji Halwa or Rava Ladoo.

• Absorbs Flavors Well: Its neutral taste allows it to readily absorb the flavors of spices, sweeteners, and other ingredients it’s cooked with.

• Adds Texture: Contributes a pleasing, slightly granular yet soft texture to many dishes.

• Quick Cooking: Fine semolina generally cooks faster than coarser varieties or whole grains.

• Trusted Heera Quality: Heera is a well-regarded brand, ensuring consistent quality for your culinary needs.

 Culinary Uses for Heera Semolina Fine.

• Upma: A classic savory South Indian breakfast porridge made with roasted semolina, vegetables, and spices.

• Sooji Halwa / Rava Kesari: A rich and aromatic sweet pudding made with roasted semolina, ghee, sugar, milk/water, and often flavored with cardamom and nuts.

• Idli & Dosa (often mixed): While Idli Rava (rice rava) is specific for idlis, fine semolina (Suji) is often used to make quick Rava Idlis or Rava Dosas, typically by mixing with yogurt or buttermilk.

• Rava Ladoo: Sweet balls made with roasted semolina, sugar, ghee, and cardamom.

• Thickening Agent: Can be used in small quantities to thicken soups or stews.

• Batters & Coatings: Adds crispness when used as a coating for fried fish, chicken, or vegetables, or as part of a batter.

• Porridge/Cereal: Can be cooked with milk or water to make a simple porridge for babies or adults.

• Pasta & Gnocchi (in some cuisines): Semolina is the traditional flour for pasta.

Tips for Cooking with Semolina).
