👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Rinse the cracked wheat thoroughly and soak in water for at least 1 hour.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Soaking helps the wheat cook faster and become creamier.
2. 2

   In a large pot, sauté the chopped onions in 2 tablespoons of ghee until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

   ⏱️ 5-7 minutes
3. 3

   Add the chicken pieces to the pot, along with cardamom pods and cinnamon stick. Season with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken on all sides.

   ⏱️ 10 minutes
4. 4

   Drain the soaked cracked wheat and add it to the pot with the chicken. Add 8 cups of water, ensuring the wheat and chicken are submerged.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: You can adjust water quantity as needed during cooking.
5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 2.5 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

   ⏱️ 2.5-3 hours

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: The mixture should become very thick and creamy. If it becomes too dry, add more hot water.
6. 6

   Once the wheat is fully cooked and the chicken is tender, remove the chicken pieces. Shred the chicken meat and discard bones and skin.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: You can also mash some of the wheat directly in the pot for extra creaminess.
7. 7

   Return the shredded chicken to the pot. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of ghee. Cook for another 10-15 minutes until well combined and heated through.

   ⏱️ 10-15 minutes
8. 8

   Serve hot, drizzled with extra ghee and a sprinkle of black pepper if desired.

   💡 पेशेवर सुझाव: Some prefer to mash the harees further with a wooden spoon or whisk for a smoother texture.
