BANSI RAVA UPMA

Here I never seen bansi rava in the market, but we get bombay rava. Bansi rava is little more coarse than bombay rava. I always felt bansi rava is more tastier than bombay rava. So whenever we visit Mangalore ,  we buy from there in bulk. And I think it is available in Karnataka state. Upma is made of this bansi rava is very healthy, tasty and really very filling.
