Raw Durum Wheat Semolina for Halwa, Upma and Rava Idli

Shankar Unroasted Rava - 1kg is a raw, unroasted sooji (semolina) made from durum wheat — the traditional choice for South Asian cooks who prefer to roast their semolina themselves for full control over flavour and texture. Shankar is a trusted brand in the British Indian grocery market, delivering consistent quality for everyday Indian cooking.

Why Choose Shankar Unroasted Rava 1kg?

Roasting semolina yourself allows you to control the depth of flavour — a light roast gives a subtle nuttiness, while a deeper roast produces a richer, more intense aroma. Unroasted rava is also preferred for recipes like rava idli and rava dosa where the batter is fermented or rested, as raw semolina absorbs liquid differently to pre-roasted varieties. The 1kg pack is ideal for regular cooks who use sooji frequently across both sweet and savoury dishes.

Serving Suggestions

• Dry-roast in ghee until golden and fragrant, then cook with sugar syrup for a classic sooji halwa
• Roast lightly and temper with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and vegetables for a quick upma
• Soak in yoghurt batter for soft, spongy rava idli with a fresh semolina flavour
• Mix with rice flour and spices for thin, crispy rava dosa
• Cook with saffron, ghee, and dry fruits for a festive sheera or kesari
