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

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cracked wheat (dalia), quinoa, and rolled oats thoroughly under running water to remove any debris or excess starch.

Step 2

Heat 1 teaspoon of ghee in a pressure cooker or large pot on medium heat.

Step 3

Add the cracked wheat and quinoa to the pot, lightly toasting them in the ghee for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.

Step 4

Pour 4 cups of water into the pot and add a pinch of salt. Stir well.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Add the chopped almonds, walnuts, and raisins, stirring gently to evenly distribute the nuts and dried fruits.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the porridge sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

Step 10

Serve warm, garnished with additional nuts or a drizzle of honey if desired.
