My long thinking dish, U need oats in powderd form like rava....if so where can i get in USA, from US groceries/ Indian grocery shops? Thx for posting...
Thanks Mehana for the first FB..i use "old fashioned whole grain oats" for upma (Quaker)..thicker than other oats(normal breakfast oats)..you can get it from Walmart(cheap),costco(they have only big box but its useful if you prepar it frequently, cheaper than walmart),you can find it in other US grocery shopes too..they have in Albertsons..(Albertsons brand oats also good)
