    I make this often for BF but mine always has a light brown color. How is yours so white?

  15. Seena Says: 28 November 2007 09:11  

    Thanks friends for your nice comments!
    Rajeswari and TBC,
    I use MASCULEX Malayasian Tin rava. I think that is the reason for the good color. Back at home, I have seen my mom never roast rava, and still it tastes great, and gets a nice color.

    And very often, simple is all one needs to survive on.
