Doubt about Rava

Dear Chithra



I have this confusion on Rava. It maight sound silly but I have a biiiiiiig confusion on the different varieties of Rava. I understand that there are 2 different varieties – “White” and “Wheat” Rava. But I get to hear different names for Rava. like Bombay Ravai, Chiroti Ravai, Patna Ravai, Lapsi….I really get confused many times. Can you please classify them?



Regards

Let not rava confuse you !

Hi Lakshmi ,
I know Bombay rava , wheat rava & Chiroti rava , but never heard of Patna rava.
Bombay rava is the white rava cmmonly used for upma , rava dosai , rava idli , kesari etc. Chiroti rava is more popular in Karnataka - we use it for pal boli , chiroti etc - that is , wherever rava has to be kneaded with or without maida . It can be used for kesari also , but the texture of kesari will be slightly different from that made with Bombay rava. I use it only for pineapple kesari because the person who taught me pineapple kesari said it is more suitable.
Wheat rava , as you know , is bigger grain & suitable for upma , pongal etc. It can be used for payasam also - in fact the next payasam I am planning to give is with that !
There is one more wheat rava also called Meals rava (sappattu gothumai ravai ) with quite big grains , used only for use like "satham" ( i mean rice !). It is recommended for diabetics specially. These two are made from Samba Wheat whereas Bombay rava , I heard , is made from durum wheat.
Regards,
Chitvish.

 

Thank You Chithra!

Dear Chithra

Thank you for your time. I think Bombay Rava and Patna Rava (In tamil) are same. My M-I-L calls white rava as Patna Rava. The information that you have provided me is of great help. Now, I am sure that the Rava will not confuse me any more.
