Dalia Pulao (दलिया पुलाव) is a highly nutritious, quick and traditional Indian breakfast, lunch or dinner prepared with dalia (broken wheat) and seasonal vegetables. It is a one pot meal and no onion no garlic recipe. It is perfect for weight loss and vegan recipe. Dalia is an easy and quick recipe that can be cooked in 15 minutes. It is one of the healthy and simple breakfast.
Dalia is a whole wheat grain that are broken down. They include the husk, which is a good source of both nutrition and fiber. Dalia is ideal for those who want to have a flat tummy and helps in weight loss as it is low in fat. It is a good source of the daily requirement of fiber and manganese. It is an excellent source of protein. Dalia is very easy to digest. It can be simply pressure cooked with salt and eat with moong ki dal or any curry.
Dalia is a very popular dish in India. Generally it is prepared along with moong dal but here in this post dalia is cooked along with vegetables like vegetable pulao. I have not used any onion and garlic. To make dalia pulao, firstly, roast dalia on low flame till it turns aromatic, then sautéed with tomatoes and vegetables of your choice. You may add potatoes, peas, onion, beans and capsicum. Because of lockdown, I don’t have these vegetables so I am making dalia only with tomatoes and potatoes. Dalia can also be used to make milk based sweet porridge like kheer or lapsi.
Dalia is a perfect option for breakfast or as a full meal. Typically it is prepared when we want some light meal in dinner. It can be served with Boondi Raita, Cucumber Raita or plain curd.
