2 cups wheat (whole wheat grains)
1 white onion (finely diced)
2 cinnamon sticks
2 liters hot (boiled) water
Salt, to taste
Half a cup of powdered milk
How to prepare:
Soak wheat: Start by washing the whole wheat grains and soaking them in hot water for an hour.
Prepare the ingredients: Finely chop the onion and cut the chicken into quarters, then remove the skin and fat.
Initial cooking: In a large pot, place the chicken, whole wheat grains, onions and cinnamon. Pour boiling water over the ingredients and leave on high heat for 5 minutes.
Remove impurities: Reduce heat and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
Crumble the meat: Halfway through, remove the chicken from the pot so that the bone can be easily extracted, then return the chicken meat to the pot and stir with a whisk until the meat is crumbled.

Serving: Scoop the mash into serving bowls and pour some ghee on top.
