Rava is made by grinding husked wheat and is used in south Indian cuisine, such in Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu, to make Rava dosa, Rava idli, upma, khichdis, and also sweets like Rava Ladoo and Rava halwa also known as Rava Kesari.[1][2]

There is another form of rava known as Chamba Rava, which is an extract of wheat flour, while this "Rava" is an extract of maida flour, hence much finer.[3]

Bombay Rava is used in Southern States of India to make upma. It is also used as an ingredient in some varieties of Dosa, especially the Rava Dosa.[3]
