Tips / Notes:
·
U can
cook Daliya Upma without using pressure cooker but u need to Stir frequently
and cook until all the water has been absorbed and the upma comes together,
soft and fluffy. Pop some of the wheat in your mouth to see if its soft. If
not, add more water and keep stirring until its fully done.

But I
prefer this method for fast process and no need to stand in front of stove for
long time.
