Broken Wheat Thiruvadhirai Kali

#BrokenWheatthiruvadhiraiKali : #Kali ( pudding ) is thicker version of koozh ( porridge ) usually prepared with broken rice and green gram dhal. My mother used to prepare using a heavy bottomed vessel. Sometimes it comes out very well and sometimes not so good. It is a dish prepared with rice, green gram dhal and jaggery. The consistency of jaggery syrup is very important to make a proper kali. After so many failed attempts she found out a method to make #thiruvaadhiraikali using pressure cooker.
Here I used Broken wheat to prepare thiruvadhirai kali. Let us see the preparation.
