In Jainism, dietary guidelines are based on the principle of ahimsa (non-violence). Jains avoid foods that involve violence or harm to living beings, including certain root vegetables and fermented foods. Semolina (also known as rava or sooji) is made from wheat, which is a grain and does not involve killing the entire plant or multiple life forms as in the case of root vegetables.

Therefore, semolina is generally considered acceptable for consumption in Jainism, provided it is prepared without onions, garlic, root vegetables, or any other ingredients that are not permitted in a Jain diet. Always ensure that the preparation and cooking process also adheres to Jain principles.
