  • Add a little butter in a container on a low flame and add the powdered wheat and stir it, take care that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the container.
  • Then add milk and let it cook on low flame for 6-8 mins.
  • Meanwhile grate or break jaggery into pieces so that it measures to 2 cups.
  • Add jaggery to the milk and wheat grains. Let it cook for 15-20 mins with constant stirring.
  • Also add powdered cardamom and poppy seeds along with cashews and coconut and let it simmer on low flame.
  • Remember to use the 2-3 tbsps of butter during the entire process. You can remove it from the flame when you see butter floating on the top and nice aroma emanating.
  • Serve it hot with some ghee on the top.
