    Sweet Dalia /Sweet broken wheat upma /Gur Ka Dalia - healthy nutritious breakfast for toddlers, kids and for the whole family.

    Notes :
    • I have used thin variety of dalia or broken wheat hence used less water to cook it. If using thick dalia/ broken wheat variety, it takes more water than the mentioned amount.
    • Adding coconut is optional, skip it if you feel its heavy.
    • The final consistency of this recipe should be dry.
    • You could also pressure cook the broken wheat for 4 whistles instead of cooking in the pan and continue with the further steps.
    • Generally broken wheat doesn't cause any allergies, but check for symptoms and stop feeding your baby if you find any.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
    • Don't prefer whole nuts for small babies, instead add powdered nuts.
