Wheat Rava is made from breaking the wheat in to small coarse particles. It is called as broken wheat or wheat rava. If the broken wheat is little big in size, it is called dalia in northern part of India. It is a very healthy food and usually taken as breakfast or sometimes as dinner. Broken wheat is available in all Indian stores . I have tried a very simple and delicious upma using broken wheat. Please try and leave your comments.

NOTE:

But if you want to keep the broken wheat for longer time, in a dry pan, dry roast the broken wheat for about 5 minutes in medium flame , until it is hot to touch and make sure you dont burn the wheat rava. Allow it to cool down, and pack it in a air tight container. It can stay longer.
