It is known as sooji or sooji.
Other words include Suji, Soji, Sooji, Rava, Rawa, Durum Wheat, and Semolina. I grew up calling it Rava
Yes, they are referring to the same thing. In certain parts of India this ingredient is called Rava and others call it Suji/Sooji.
It can be found in the flour section of your grocery store.
Pasta, sweet halva, idli, dosa, upma, fried snacks, and some spiced cakes to name a few.
Sooji is a high carb food which is why it is a recommended ingredient for post partum breastfeeding moms in India.
It helped me tremendously.
This is a common food given to babies in India. However, I would consult with your baby’s pediatrician for approval.
History
I grew up eating Sooji Sheera at most religious events. It was one of my favorite things. Actually, it was every kid’s favorite thing. Growing up, cupcakes, cookies, and ice cream were not commonly served at these events. So I would look forward to some seero/sheera. When my mom made it, she would add extra nuts and ghee thinking “kids need the nutrition”. Which is probably where I get the need to add an extra tablespoon of clarified butter to the pot. I mean, who doesn’t love ghee right?
