Notes

  1. For instant pot version cook the pulav in high temperature for 4 minutes
  2. Paneer can be skipped
  3. Potatoes can be added
  4. Coconut milk can be added for extra flavour
  5. I used 1:3 water as my cracked wheat was big. The amount of water may vary based on the kurunai size
  6. If you are not a big fan of masala make it a khichdi without masalas
  7. Cook it medium flame. Avoid high flame
