I miss this wheat rava here..When ever am returning from coimbatore, "Mayil" mark rava will be traveling with me! 🙂 Just finished it off and bought a pack here, which tastes like broken wheat!
Nice upma, I never pressure cooked, nor added mint. It takes only a few minutes for the rava to cook, so why using pressure cooker Sharmi?
Upma and banana is our favorite combo! 🙂
Sharmilee! :)
I feel it easy to make in pressure cooker and I get the texture in pressure cooker perfectly…just depends on our preference 🙂
