சம்பா ரவை (Samba Rawa) is a type of coarse semolina made from durum wheat, commonly used in South Indian cuisine. It is distinct from regular rava due to its slightly coarser texture and higher nutritional value. Samba ravai is known for its rich, nutty flavor and is often used in a variety of dishes, including upma, pongal, and various traditional snacks. It is also valued for its ability to absorb flavors well, making it a versatile ingredient in both savory and sweet preparations. Its nutritional benefits include providing a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
