  1. Hi dear,

    Was going thru details on net regarding semolina coz had a doubt whether rawa and suji are same. Then i came across this blog of urs..read ,it is called cream of wheat…got curious…why cream…its coarse then why cream?? Then read in wikipwdia tht when the semolina is boiled it becomes a porridge and that porridge is called cream of wheat…now tht made some sense…hope u got my pt…so i guess tht rawa or sooji is not cream of wheat but boiled sooji is called cream of wheat…please notify me if am wrong..

    Thanks dear.

    1. teena, yes i got your point. i think since it used to make porridge, the raw form of sooji or rava is called as cream of wheat. in fact during our home science praticals, rava was always referred to as semolina. but when i started blogging, i came to know that rava is different than semolina and many times readers from outside india would get confused and mention that semolina they get there are large in size than rava. in fact i have also read that rava is called as farina also in some countries. even rice rava is called as cream of rice. hope my explanation makes sense ????

      1. Hi dear,

        So you replied to this ques of mine. Actually,long time back when I used to enquire on ur blog then the ques got displayed with the text that ur query in under moderation. But when I posted the above query it disappeared so I thought alt text is gone and I had already shredded all of my energies in trying to know the diff between rawa/semolina/sooji which got all the more confusing the more i tried to delve into it. So ur last line actually made me ROFL. Thanks dear for replying.

        1. teena, sometimes the query goes in the spam or trash folder. i do check the queries in these folder and then filter them out and then reply to them. this could be the reason that the query disappeared. welcome and i hope your query is solved.
