vegetable dalia

vegetable dalia

here is a healthy one pot meal of vegetable dalia. basically dalia is this the hindi term for broken cereals. however, broken wheat is generally called as dalia in the north. broken wheat is used in india for making many sweet as well as savory dishes.

dalia is considered to be one of the simplest and healthy food, low in fat & cholesterol, high in iron & fibre, good in carbs. often recommended to growing up kids or people recovering from illness.

dalia is very easy to digest. in case your stomach is upset then dalia and khichdi are two recipes which are often recommended. many of us must have memories of having dalia and khichdi when recovering from illness.

this dish has a porridge like consistency. but some people make it slightly thick too. at home we generally have dalia accompanied with yogurt but it can be had plain too. you can have this dish as a breakfast too.

the vegetables i usually add in dalia are carrots, peas, potatoes, onions, cauliflowers, french beans and tomatoes. for a punch you can also little capsicum also. peas and potatoes are often used in most vegetable dalia recipes. i make one pot meals like dalia, khichdi, veg pulao when i have less time to cook.

some folks don't like the bland taste of dalia as this is usually prepared for people recovering from sickness. otherwise, if you plan to serve dalia to a healthy person then you can make the dalia little spicy as well as tasty.
