Stove-Top

1. For making the cracked wheat, roast it in the pressure cooker with ghee. Then add the water and salt and cook for 2 whistles. The first whistle should be on high flame and the second on medium heat. Switch off the gas and release the pressure. Open it up, add milk and jaggery and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes until it thickens. Then follow the above recipe starting with step 4.

Recipe Notes

• Any milk like soy or almond would work just as well here.
• Coconut oil works instead of ghee as they both give it a nice toasty flavor.
• You can use any toppings that you want with these different flavors!
• If you want to store the cracked wheat, just put it in the fridge once you open the Instant Pot (before you add the 2 cups milk). When you want to eat it, about 2-3 days later at most, just stir in the milk, sugar, flavor, and toppings.
• It can also be enjoyed hot or cold depending on your preferences.
