Retail – HEERA SEMOLINA COARSE 1.5kg

Description

Heera Semolina Coarse 1.5kg, a versatile wheat grain for sweet and savoury cooking.

Coarse semolina, often called sooji or rava, is made from durum wheat and has a firm, granular texture. The 1.5kg is a single retail pack, a good size for regular bakers and cooks who make halwa, upma and puddings. Because it is coarse, it gives a pleasant bite and holds together well in cooking.

Key Features

• Coarse wheat semolina, also known as sooji or rava
• Generous 1.5kg single retail pack for the store cupboard
• Works in both sweet and savoury dishes
• Firm, granular texture that holds up when cooked
• A traditional base for halwa, upma and milk puddings

Cooking and Uses: Toast the semolina gently in a little ghee or oil to bring out its aroma, then cook with water or milk for halwa and upma. It thickens milk puddings, adds structure and crunch to baking, and can be used to dust or coat foods before frying. Stir as it cooks to keep it smooth and lump free.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place. After opening, keep it in an airtight container to protect it from moisture and pests.
