What is Sama rice ?
Sama Rice is known as Barnyard Millet in english.
In regional languages, it is known as – Samo rice, Samak rice, Mordhan, Vrat ka Chawal, Vari Cha Tandul, Bhagar or Kodri, Jungle rice.
Sama rice is not rice, but a gluten-free, fibre-rich, and nutritious tiny, round, cream-coloured grain, that is smaller than the rice grain and sago pearls and slightly bigger than sooji (semolina).
You can substitute this grain in many dishes that contains rice, like pulao and khichdi. This also has a texture similar to that of sooji/rava/semolina. So just as you make upma, you can add in your favourite veggies and make vegetable samak rice upma/pulao.
