I love rava upma a lot. In my opinion, rava upma has to be very soft and should just melt in your mouth. If you don’t make it properly, it will dry up and make it so hard to swallow. But you dont have to worry about that because i have found a amazing method which will make this world a better place.
The key for a beautiful soft upma is you have to add a generous amount of oil and ghee while making it and also a cup of milk will do the trick. Yes adding a cup of milk will make this upma so meltingly delicious. I have made this upma will lots of veggies so it makes it even more tasty. If you are looking for a basic upma, i have a recipe of that too, you can see u can see i have a trick there too. So try this out and let me know how it turned out for you.

Upma recipe
Hi Aarthi,
I am new to cooking and had been sincerely following your recipes. Some of them had turned up really good (ghee pongal and sambhar are hit at home). I tried this recipe yesterday, the upuma turned thick quickly before I could turn the stove to low flame. So at the end the upuma turned little dry, although the taste was good. Any thoughts on what is the mistake that I made?
Note: I prepared half the quantity of the prescribed recipe.
Wow yummy yummy upuma. I done in my home with surabhi sooji its mouth watering. Thanks for your recipes.
hi arthi, we should add fresh milk or coconut milk..?
It is fresh milk
