Broken wheat or dalia is rich in fiber, calcium, vitamins, carbohydrates, and iron. Broken wheat pumpkin porridge serves as a healthy and filling food for babies in the form of sweet or savory porridge. I have added pumpkin in this porridge and cooked it in a pressure cooker. Pumpkin is rich in immunity boosting nutrients. More vegetables can be added to the porridge to make it all the more nutritious and delicious.
