Tips, food safety & substitutions
Nutrition figures are estimates only. Cook the rice until very soft — it should almost fall apart. Allergens: egg, milk (ghee, butter). Pakistani alternative: use broken rice (totay chawal) which cooks softer and faster, and desi ghee. Eat fresh and warm; do not keep porridge overnight.
