Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Broken Wheat / Godhumai Rava I used finely ground broken wheat
  • ½ cup Yogurt mix it with ½ cup of water
  • 7 Mint leaves
  • 3 sprigs Cilantro
  • 1 Green chilies
  • ½ inch Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Cumin powder

Instructions

  • Wash the broken wheat under running water and then add about a cup of water and cook it until soft. I cooked it in my instant pot in pressure cook mode for 6 minutes.
  • Let the cooked broken wheat cool down to room temperature.
  • In the meantime, grind mint, cilantro, green chili and ginger into a smooth paste adding little water.
  • Whisk the yogurt well and add about ½ cup of water to it. Add the ground mixture to the yogurt and mix well.
  • Also add the salt needed and ground cumin to the yogurt mixture.
  • Once the broken wheat has cooled to room temperature, add it to the yogurt mixture and mix well.
  • Adjust the consistency to your preference and serve.
  • I make it the night before and love to drink it chilled on a hot summer day.
