Samai [samak, little millet] is one of the healthiest millet in ancient tamilnadu. Samai, jaggery & milk combination is delicious. No white sugar required. This payasam is aromatic & flavourful. Dont add jaggery when boling. If you add jaggery in boling milk mixture it will separates or curdle. So cut off heat the nadd jaggery/jaggery syrup. If you are vegan use coconut milk instead of milk. WE can use almond milk, oats milk or cashew milk.
