Rava is basically Semolina in gujurati/indian, and I've made a sweet fruity nut ball using all vegan friendly ingredients. I've even now sourced some vegan ghee called 'Better Ghee'. I can't find a website link, however I did post a photo on my Instagram a few weeks ago.

Semolina is a purified wheat middling of durum wheat and used in making pasta, cereals and puddings. Semolina is very versatile and can be used in sweet and savoury cooking and baking. Used widely in Eastern European and south Asian counties.

Tejal's tip: Semolina can be used to prevent sticking when baking, such as sprinkle on a little on the baking tray before baking bread or pizza dough.
