RAVA UPMA

         The food which I hate in my hostel was RAVA/SEMIYA UPMA. I will fast on those mornings. My friends also will run from the mess hall when seeing this upma in kali form. My mom makes rawa upma often. I love that one. After my marriage when I started to do  rawa upma I always end up im forming lumps. So I was thinking that making rawa upma is a tedious task. When I found the where I went wrong was stirring continuosly when water boils while adding rawa.Either I would put rawa before boiling stage is reached or sometimes I will not do continous stirring.
