Hi.. what is "wheat" Rava? ?the Rava I know is normal white granular Rava(semolina).
Hari Chandana P says
Wheat rava is "Broken Wheat / Cracked Wheat" .. It is crushed wheat grains.
priyanka says
hi! I would like to know, at what stage should milk be added.
Hari Chandana P says
Sorry for the confusion. You will have to add milk as a final step. After turning off the flame, let the mixture cool down for 5 minutes then add milk (boiled & cooled).
