    Notes:
    • Adjust the water level according to the broken wheat type. I used fine cracked wheat so I added 1.5 cups of water.
    • You can use any vegetables of your choice. I used carrot, peas, and cauliflower.
    • You can make this daliya khichdi without vegetables too. To make it more filling and wholesome, add vegetables like carrot, peas, beans, etc..
    • Adding salt is not recommended in baby food unless they turned one year.
    • It is mildly spiced with the ingredients mentioned above. Add ½ teaspoon of red chili powder if you are making it for adults.
    • Add one small tomato if you want the daliya khichdi to be slightly tangy.

      How much time is three whistles in pressure cooker? Can you use butter instead of ghee?

        It may take 5-7 minutes depends on the cooker you use. And yes, you can use butter!
