WHEAT RAVA UPMA

Wheat rava is a healthy and nutritious variant,rich in fibre content. Its the most preferred food for the person with diabetes,as it is low in glycemic index. I always detested wheat rava as a kid,but loved the sweet dish prepared from this rava.I took cue from a cookery program and used coconut oil in preparing this upma. To my amazement,i really loved the upma and devoured it in one sitting. I feel the coconut oil did the magic and enhanced the flavour.
