Bansi rave is used a lot in Bangalore.I doubt if it is the brand name (may be so in the picture). But in Bangalore, it is a type of rave along with Chiroti rave, sanna rave etc. My MIL from Andhra had not heard or seen it before I introduced her to it.

Thanks Indira, for the clarification. So, Bansi is a brandname, huh? I’ll look for this roasted rava.

Vijay does have a sharp eye then. Let me go hunting for guavas and other interesting stuff in Little India.

I wonder, if upma is the only thing that can be made with this rava. Hmm…time to do some searching on google.

1. ghee + yogurt/buttermilk is a no-no. It will have to be oil only.

2. Doesnt the buttermilk go bad if put on the stove for long? Typically, yogurt or BM is added towards the fag-end of cooking of the dish.

Buttermilk in upma! I can imagine what a lovely flavour it will impart to the upma…!

Hi Latha: Bansi is a product name here in this label. Here is the product line, scroll down to letter B to find other Bansi products.

Hi ISG: My mistake, I changed the note. I thought samba rava is similar to roasted upma rava.

Upma prepared with this type of rava tastes simply superb, Trupti, just like the one we used to prepare at Nandyala. The texture, the taste is same.

Thanks Ranjani.

Hi Musical, Seattle is good to me grocery wise. Here almost all products are avialable in Indian grocery shops.

Not Bansi but “Roasted” is the keyword, here Kay. Roasting process before milling gives a special taste to the rava and makes upma tastes great.
Vijay usually picks up all the good stuff and he has a sharp eye when it comes to shopping. So credit goes to Vijay.:)
I purchased guavas and gooseberries in Toronto, from Pakistan grocery shops in Little India.
