Notes

  1. Always use roasted rava for Upma. If you are using unroasted rava, roast well then prepare upma
  2. I have used Udupi Roasted Upma rava, wheat. You can use regular sooji too or cracked wheat but adjust the water accordingly
  3. Always use room temperature water. Avoid hot water. The exact amount of water might vary based on the brand and variety of wheat rava you use and also based on the texture you prefer upma
  4. If you prefer mushy upma add around 3 cups of water
  5. Deglazing the pan is essential for no burn IP cooking

Variations for Wheat upma

  1. Onion, vegetables of your choice can be used
  2. whole garam masala or add the masala powder and prepare masala upma
