1. your rava must have been very fine, in which case less water should be added
2. You have to sift really well to remove all the powder which causes fudgy wudgy uppumav
3. yes the same spice specified was added, also the ginger garlic
4. The taste was intense because it was overcooked so the spices predominate.
5. The rava has to be fried so that each grain will separate.
6. When you are adding the rava to the boiling water, it has to be in a steady stream, and stirred all the while, not all together
Moral of the story: Please watch Amma create the magic, that is a surefire way of learning.
Why dont you call her tomorrow, she will answer all your questions.

Dear Sabita, The upma was tasty, but it was like a fudge and not grainy…wish there was a clearcut tip on how to get it grainy. I also did not add the garlic. Pls tell me, would aunty remember if the day we came to your place, the upma actually had cloves etc, as well as ginger-garlic! The flavour was so mild, compared to mine today.
Cheers, Pratibha

Looking at the pic of upma, I am sure the magic is passed on from the mother to the daughter. I had to take a second look to confirm its not the pic of a pulao.

biriyani for 30 people made the conventional way, over wood and hot coal on the lid during those feasts It sounds so droolicious! The conventional way of cooking is really something special .. took me back to those days when we used to go over to grandma’s place during summer vacation and demanded that she cook for us this way and let go of the gas stove! Fond memories :)
