Lazy Breakfast Bowl

Lazy Breakfast Bowl

This is the yummiest, nutritious and easy to make complete-meal kind of breakfast you can ever think of. You can use steelcut oats instead of broken wheat for a change. But steelcut oats will have to be soaked overnight and pressure cooked for longer time. 


Ingredients
Broken Wheat (daliya) – ¾ cup
Toned milk – 1 cup
Water – 1 cup
Salt - ¼ tsp
Cloves, Cardamon and Peppercorns - 2 each
Coconut milk (thickish) – ½ cup

Method
Soak daliya in water for 20 to 30 mins
Add milk and pressure cook till 2 whistles
Cool slightly
Add coconut milk and cook for 1 whistle
Cool slightly
Add palm jaggery  (as sweet as you like) – I added 2 tbsp
Have it warm


Note: You can cook it in 2 cups water only and then add coconut milk as desired, especially those who are lactose intolerant
