A pantry staple in millions of Indian, Middle Eastern, and Mediterranean households, coarse semolina is prized for its firm, grainy texture and mild, nutty flavour that makes it the ideal base for a wide range of both savoury and sweet dishes.

How to Use

Classic Upma (Savoury Semolina Porridge)

Dry roast TRS Semolina Coarse in a pan until lightly golden and fragrant. In a separate pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, onions, green chilli, and ginger. Add 2 cups of boiling water per 1 cup of semolina, stir in the roasted semolina, and cook on low heat until absorbed. Season with salt and garnish with coriander and lemon juice. Serve hot as a breakfast or light meal.

Rava (Semolina) Halwa

Melt ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan, add TRS Semolina Coarse 500g and roast until golden and aromatic. Add warm sugar syrup (water + sugar) gradually, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook until the halwa leaves the sides of the pan. Add cardamom, saffron, and garnish with cashews and raisins for a rich, festive dessert.

Rava Idli

Mix roasted coarse semolina with yogurt, salt, and a pinch of baking soda. Add a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilli. Rest the batter for 20–30 minutes, then steam in idli moulds for 10–12 minutes. Serve with coconut chutney and sambar for a classic South Indian breakfast.

Semolina Porridge

Bring milk or water to a boil, slowly whisk in TRS Semolina Coarse, and cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring continuously. Sweeten with sugar or honey, add a pinch of cardamom, and top with nuts and dried fruit for a quick, nourishing breakfast.

In Baking & Coating

Use coarse semolina to add texture to bread crusts, pizza bases, and shortbread biscuits. It also works as a crispy coating for pan-fried fish, vegetables, or cutlets – giving a golden, crunchy exterior without deep frying.

Storage Tips

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 3–6 months for best quality. Refrigeration can extend shelf life in humid climates.
