Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup dalia or cracked wheat
  • 2 cardamom pods cracked
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoon brown sugar or to taste
  • ½ cup milk

Instructions
 

  • Heat saucepan, and add dalia and cardamom pods. On high heat, roast the dalia until it changes color slightly, about 5 minutes.
  • Add water, salt and sugar, and bring to boil. Lower heat, and let the dalia simmer uncovered for 7-8 minutes or until the dalia is cooked, and nearly all the water has boiled out. It is important that you do not let the dalia become completely dry. During this step, keep scraping the bottom of the pot with your spatula to prevent the dalia from sticking.
  • Bring heat to low, and add milk. Stir vigorously for about 2 minutes or until you get the desired consistency. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
