Saamai rava, also known as “little millet rava” or “little millet semolina”, is gluten-free and used to make a variety of traditional dishes, such as Saamai Upma and Saamai idli, as well as in sweet dishes like Saamai ladoo and payasam. It can also be used to make a variety of dishes similar to how wheat rava is used. Saamai is considered as an ancient grain. It is particularly rich in minerals like iron, zinc, copper, and manganese, making it a good dietary option for people who want to include a gluten-free alternative in their diet or for those who are looking to include a variety of whole grains.
