Method &gt;&gt; Wash the whole wheat and soak overnight in double the water. &gt;&gt; Make a spice sachet (similar to a bouquet garni) with rose petals, coriander seeds, pathar ke phool and khus, in a muslin cloth. &gt;&gt; Add all the ingredients to the whole wheat (along with the water) and cook in a vessel using dum process. &gt;&gt; Cook for an hour. The wheat should have completely softened and the meat should fall of the bone. &gt;&gt; Remove the lid. Keep cooking the mixture while continuously mashing it with the spice sachet for another half an hour and add milk as you do so. This creates the sticky lustrous quality that Khichada is known for. It is important that the wheat completely disintegrates into the creamy mixture. Make sure the meat, pulses and cereals are well-cooked. &gt;&gt; Finish with cream and saffron. Dri&gt;&gt; &gt;&gt; le a little ghee on the Khichada while serving. &gt;&gt; Garnish with chopped mint leaves, ginger slices, chopped coriander, brown onion and chopped green chilli.
