Samba Ravai Payasam recipe is a Kongunadu special sweet dish made with broken wheat.
Out of the many dishes made in the Kongunadu region of Tamil nadu , this one is quite unique. Samba ravai or broken wheat is an ingredient that has been in use since long before wheat flour became popular. Another dish that is made with broken wheat is Samba ravai upma, that is more tasty and nutritious than the white rava version.
These two dishes are famous around here and I tried this sweet recipe a few years ago. It has been sleeping in the drafts for long and it has finally made it into the FBN challange where this weeks theme is a sweet dish.
It’s time I brought out this dish and posted it here for so that it can be an addition to the Kongunadu recipe collection.
