DAILY DELIGHT INSTANT UPMA MIX 1 KG

Description

Daily Delight Instant Upma Mix 1 KG has had everything that normally happens in the pan before the rava goes in done for it at the factory. Nothing needs chopping and nothing needs frying.

Plain upma from roasted rava already takes only fifteen minutes, so what this buys is not really speed but the removal of decisions, which matters on a weekday morning or in a student kitchen with one pan. It is also the version people take travelling, where a kettle is the only equipment available.

Is it as good as upma made from scratch? No, and it is not pretending to be. Fresh onion, green chilli, ginger and curry leaves in hot ghee are most of what makes upma taste of anything, and dried versions of those are a shadow. It is a convenience, and a decent one.

Can I improve it? Easily, and most people do. Fry mustard seeds, curry leaves and a chopped onion in ghee first, then add the mix and the water as the pack says. Five extra minutes gets you most of the way back to the real thing.

For upma built from scratch, Aiva roasted rava is the rava to start with, and instant mixes and flours at Panjab Supermarket carries the idli, appam and dosa mixes. Vegetarian. Keep the pack sealed in a cool, dry place and use it up within the date printed on it.
