Broken Wheat Porridge

Daliya or broken wheat cooked in milk and jaggery is a quick and filling breakfast. Broken wheat is whole grain and not refined like semolina / sooji. Its a great way to introduce babies to a grainy texture. Ovie still loves to eat this especially when she is unwell.

Broken Wheat Porridge

Broken wheat / Daliya: 1/4 cup
Water: 1/4 cup
Milk: 1/4 cup + 1/4 cup
Jaggery: 1 tbsp
Cardamom Powder: 1/2 tsp
Chopped nuts (optional & not for babies)

• In a thick bottomed pan, boil broken wheat in 1/4 cup water & 1/4 cup milk. When half cooked, add the remaining milk and jaggery and cook. Keep stirring once milk is added or it will boil over. 
• Daliya takes a little longer to cook than semolina. 
• When done, check for the consistency and remove from heat. Add more milk if you want it thinner.
