Quick Savory Daliya or Cracked Wheat (Bulgur) with Carrots and Peas
A popular North Indian breakfast cereal made with cracked wheat and vegetables. Best served hot with yogurt.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup Daliya Cracked Wheat or Bulgur
- 1 tablespoon Ghee or Oil
- ½ cup frozen carrots and peas you can use fresh too
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 2 cups water
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Rinse the daliya in fresh water. Set a pressure cooker on medium high heat and add ghee or oil to it.
- Once the ghee is melted add the cumin seeds and wait for them to splutter. Add the daliya and toast it for about a minute. Add the carrots and peas and give everything a mix.
- Add the water along with salt and pepper to taste. Put the lid on the pressure cooker and turn the heat to high. Wait for the pressure cooker to reach full pressure (or “whistle”), about 5-7 minutes. Turn the heat off and let the pressure release by itself (it takes another 7-10 minutes) for this.
- Serve the daliya hot with a bowl of plain yogurt. A hard boiled egg on the side makes it more exciting! Healthy and fulfilling breakfast.
