- If you are not comfortable with coconut milk substitute it with cows milk. It tastes equally yummy.
- Wheat Urad Dal Porridge tastes best with any spicy side dish or chutney.
- Use a bigger pressurecooker or the water in the cooker might over flow.
- As an alternate the urad dal and Wheat can be soaked in water for an hour. Then only 2 cups of water (i.e 1:2 ratio of contents:water} is sufficient to pressure cook.
