Hi Jess,
sorry for the confusion. I’ve updated the recipe.
Hi maria,
Love to read your new recipes and even more love to try those. Keep moving.You are truely an inspiration to cook
When ever i make upma it gets sticky.Is there any measurement for the water we add.I noticed in your recipe for 1 cup you add 2 cups of water. Or is it because i didnt fry the semolina before cooking?
Hi Neeta,
Thanks a lot :) Unless you are using roasted rava, it’s better to fry semolina before cooking. Also the amount of water depends on the texture you want. If you want upma to have a separate grainy texture like in the picture given, use 1 cup water for 1 cup semolina. If you want a soft upma, like pongal, use double the qty of water, for 1 cup semolina, use 2 cups water. Also if you add more oil / ghee, upma will be soft.
Hope this helps..
Cheers
Maria
