3. Mix it with the ghee and on a low to medium-low flame; roast the Laxmi Bhog Kesari Dalia in ghee.
4. Stir continuously while roasting.
5. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes on a low to medium-low flame. The Laxmi Bhog Kesari Dalia will become aromatic and the color will change.
6. Then add 1.5 to 1.75 cups water. If using a large cooker, then add more water. Stir and mix very well.
7. On a medium flame pressure cook for about 5 to 6 whistles or 5 to 6 minutes.
8. When pressure settles down on its own, remove the lid and check if the Laxmi Bhog Kesari Dalia is cooked well. If not then add more water and pressure cook again.

Making Sweet Dalia

1. Add 1.5 cups milk to the cooked Laxmi Bhog Kesari Dalia.

3. Mix well and keep the cooker on a medium-low flame.
4. Let the mixture come to a simmer and gentle boil. Stir at times.
