Full recipe instructions for preparing Godhuma Kanji

🔥 Prep

Rinse 100 g broken wheat under running water until the water runs clear.
Measure out 300 ml milk, 80 g jaggery, 0.5 tsp cardamom powder, 8 cashew nuts, 1 tbsp ghee, and 200 ml water so they are ready for use.

🔥 Cook

1. Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a saucepan over medium heat and add the 8 cashew nuts; sauté until golden brown (2 minutes).
2. Add the rinsed 100 g broken wheat and toast lightly, stirring continuously for 2 minutes.
3. Pour in 200 ml water, bring to a boil over high heat (5 minutes).
4. Reduce to low heat, cover and simmer until the wheat is soft and the water is absorbed, about 15‑20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Once the wheat is tender, add 300 ml milk and stir; increase to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly.
6. Add 80 g jaggery (crushed) and 0.5 tsp cardamom powder; stir until the jaggery dissolves completely (2‑3 minutes), then simmer on low heat for another 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
7. Remove from heat and garnish with the sautéed cashew nuts.
