Semolina is coarsely ground grain, usually wheat, with particles mostly between 0.25 and 0.75 millimetres in diameter.
In Northern India, it is known as Suji; in southern India, rava. In much of North Africa and the Middle-East, it is made into the staple couscous or kuskus.
In South India, semolina is used to make such delicacies as rava dosa and upma. A popular dessert in Greece ("Halvas"), Cyprus ("Halouvas"), Turkey ("Helva"), Iran ("Halva"), and India and Pakistan ("Halwa") is sometimes made with semolina scorched with sugar, butter, milk and pine nuts.
It can be used as an alternative to corn meal to 'flour' the underside of fresh pizza dough to prevent it from sticking to the peel.
In bread making, a small proportion of semolina added to the usual mix of flour produces a tasty crust.
