Godhumai Rava Semiya Payasam Recipe / Cracked Wheat Payasam

Godhumai Rava Semiya Payasam Recipe / Cracked Wheat Payasam is a yummilicious traditional dessert prepared with godhumai ravai (cracked wheat), jaggery, vermicelli, ghee and nuts. Cracked wheat or broken wheat is also called as godhumai ravai (samba godhumai) in tamil, daliya in hindi, godhambu rava in malayalam and godhuma rava in telugu. This payasam is one of my favourite and this is a winner recipe. When I was doing my college, they conducted cookery competition, in which I prepared this payasam and got first prize. That day I used coconut milk in my godhumai payasam for rich and creamy taste. But in this recipe, I used only regular cows milk. I used jaggery as sweetener, you can also use palm jaggery or sugar. This is a very easy samba godhumai payasam even beginners or bachelor can try this during festival occasion. Today is onam so I would like to share traditional recipe. So here comes the recipe of godhumai ravai payasam 🙂

Notes

You can also make it in pressure cooker, rather than cooking in stove top.
For vegan version, add almond milk or soy milk.
Add sugar or palm jaggery instead of jaggery.
If you are using bigger variety of broken wheat, it is better to grind in a mixie to make it fine for easy cooking.
Add any nuts of your choice.
If you have coconut milk, add it in place of cows milk for rich and creamy payasam.
If you don't like vermicelli, just avoid it and add cracked wheat alone.
