In a pressure cooker, add the chopped carrots along with tablespoon of water. Pressure cook for 2 whistles and release the pressure immediately by running the cooker under water. Open the lid, take out the steamed carrots and keep aside. In the same pressure cooker, add dalia /broken wheat along with 1/2 cup water.
