Godhuma Ravva/ Broken Wheat Halwa

Broken Wheat Halwa is offered as Naivedhyam to the deity during festivals.
Godhuma ravva/ broken wheat is a good source of fibre and is rich in magnesium, vitamin B1, B2 , high in proteins and low in calories. It also promotes digestion. To make it tastier as well as healthier , I preferred Jaggery.
