   Take 4 cups of water in a vessel and bring to a boil.

2. 2

   In a pan, heat ¼ cup ghee.

3. 3

   Add 1 cup daliya and roast on low flame for 7-8 minutes until golden brown. Stir continuously to ensure even roasting.

   

4. 4

   Add 3-4 cloves, 10 roughly chopped cashews, and 2 tbsp finely chopped almonds. Roast along with daliya until golden.

   Slowly add the hot boiled water (4 cups) to the roasted daliya. Mix well.

6. 6

   Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

   After 15 minutes, the daliya will swell and absorb water. Cover and cook for another 15 minutes (total 30 minutes).

   Add 1 cup finely chopped jaggery. Mix well.
