ABOUT Healthy Jaggery porridge RECIPE

Broken wheat is rich in calcium, vitamins carbohydrates and iron. It is a filling food for babies as well and keep them satisfied for long hours.

Jaggery and broken wheat; both ingredients are very beneficial for toddlers , pregnant women as well as for old people. Do cook it and give healthy treat to your loved ones of all ages.

Take of broken wheat in a pressure cooker . Add 1 cup water and close the lid of the pressure cooker.
Pressure cook it for 3 whistles and open the cooker once the pressure released.

Now take the pressure cooked broken wheat and almonds in a blender along with filtered jaggery water. Blend them until smooth.

Boil the porridge until it becomes thick. Remove from the flame once done and cool it down.
