Broken wheat or Cracked wheat is made by milling whole raw wheat grains coarsely. It is highly nutritious as it does not undergo refining. Such cracked wheat has a large number of uses, especially as a dietary supplement. It’s packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber. It promotes weight loss and improve digestion and gut health.

Broken/Cracked wheat pongal or samba godhumai pongal is the same as ven pongal except that we replace rice with broken/cracked wheat rava. It is easy to make and tastes very delicious.
