1/2 cup broken wheat

1/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup ghee

1/4 cup raisins and almond slivers

1/2 tea spoon powdered cardammom
Roast the wheat in ghee for about 10 minutes on medium-low heat.
You will see the color of the wheat change from pale brown to a
reddish brown. 

This is a good time to add the raisins and almonds. On the side,
boil 2 cups of water and add to the wheat mixture. Stir well and
cover the pan with lid. 

Keep the heat low and cook the mixture for about 10 minutes. Stir
the mixture a couple of times in between. After 10 mintues you
will see that wheat has soaked up  all the water and looks nice
and fluffy. Add the sugar, cardammom powder and mix well.  cook
for 5 more minutes.
