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.
