Cooking points,
Instead of chicken stock, you can try 4 Chicken bouillon cubes which is also delicious.
4 cubes should be dissolved in 6 glasses of water. This way, you won't need to apply water.
You can also stir in 1 tablespoon tomato paste to give it a better color, if desired.
During cooking, keep stirring since the wheat groats stick to the bottom very quickly.
Whenever you feel Ash is very thick, add in one glass of water.
