TRS SEMOLINA COARSE 500 GRAM

Description

TRS Semolina Coarse 500 Gram is durum wheat semolina cut coarse, in the half kilo pack. TRS label their sooji by cut rather than by dish, which is more useful than it sounds once you know which cut does what.

Coarse is the cut for upma, for rava idli, for a crunchy coating on fried fish, and for the semolina that goes into some bread doughs. It stays in separate grains when cooked. Fine sooji, sold in its own packs, goes creamy and belongs in halwa and ladoo instead.

Coarse or fine semolina, how do I choose? By what you want the finished dish to feel like. Coarse stays grainy and separate, so it is right for upma and rava idli. Fine goes smooth and creamy, so it is right for halwa, kesari and ladoo.

Is semolina the same as sooji and rava? Yes, three words for the same thing. Semolina is the English, sooji the Hindi, rava the South Indian. The only distinctions that matter are coarse against fine, and wheat against rice.

The same cut in a bigger bag, TRS coarse semolina in 1.5 kilos, costs less by weight, and semolina and sooji of both cuts sit together on the shelf. Vegetarian. Keep it sealed and dry, and look through the pack before you use it, because rava draws weevils faster than flour does.
