Fry wheat ,on a moderate heat, stiring constantly to light brown color and set aside.
Now heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and allow them to splatter.
Add the channa dal & urad & curry leaves to it and fry till they turn red.
Add onion, ginger and green chilies. Sauté for 2-3 minutes.
Add water and salt, bring it to boil. Check for salt. Add the roasted wheat in a srinkled way as well as stirring side by side.
Will splutter a lot so be careful with it. Mix well, it will soon become thick absorbing water.
