BROKEN WHEAT PULAO

 Hi All,

It has been so long since i posted a recipe. Once the pandemic started ,entire family stayed in home all day, making my time miserable. Right from morning to night I was busy and no time for blogging.

I was unable to manage blogging, photography, household chores etc etc. So I stopped blogging temporarily and now thought of resuming it a little.

Made this pulao few days before with broken wheat. In Pollachi we use to buy Samba ravai for making upma, here in Bengalore Iam getting samba rava only in few shops other than that shops sell this broken wheat as rava :). And as usual my husband brought this broken wheat as Samba rava. So instead of wasting it, made this pulao with double beans. 

Simple recipe is as below,

Broken wheat -1 cup
Ginger -1" piece
Garlic 10 pods
Cinnamon 1 pc
Cloves 2

5) Add broken wheat , 1.5 cup water close lid and boil for 2 whistles.
