Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cracked wheat (dalia)
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Quinoa
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Milk (or plant-based milk)
- 2 tablespoons Jaggery (or brown sugar)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped walnuts
- 1 tablespoon Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Ghee (or butter)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Rinse the cracked wheat (dalia), quinoa, and rolled oats thoroughly under running water to remove any debris or excess starch.
Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a pressure cooker or large pot on medium heat.
Add the cracked wheat and quinoa to the pot, lightly toasting them in the ghee for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
Pour 4 cups of water into the pot and add a pinch of salt. Stir well.
Cover the pressure cooker and cook for 4-5 whistles (around 10 minutes). If using a regular pot, simmer with the lid on for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the grains are soft and cooked through.
Once the pressure releases (or the grains are cooked in the pot), mix in the rolled oats. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring continuously to avoid sticking.
Stir in the milk, jaggery, and cardamom powder, combining thoroughly. Cook on low heat for 5-7 minutes until the mixture has a creamy consistency.
Add the chopped almonds, walnuts, and raisins, stirring gently to evenly distribute the nuts and dried fruits.
Remove from heat and let the porridge sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts or a drizzle of honey if desired.
