Foxtail millet upma rava is a coarse, coarsely ground form of whole foxtail millet

(known locally as Korra in Telugu and Thinai in Tamil). It is a highly nutritious, gluten-free alternative to traditional wheat semolina (sooji), offering a mild nutty flavor and a light, fluffy texture for savory breakfasts
