Ingredients
Broken Wheat & Liquids
- 1 cup Broken Wheat daliya
- 1 1/2 cup Water adjust as needed for desired consistency
Vegetables
- 1/2 medium Onion finely chopped
- 1 Bell Peppers finely chopped (any color or combination)
- 1/2 medium Carrot finely chopped
- 1/2 medium Beetroot finely chopped
- 1/2 cup Cabbage finely chopped
Spices & Flavorings
- 1/2 tsp Cumin seeds
- 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Ginger finely chopped
- 1 tsp Chili Pepper finely chopped (adjust to taste), green
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- Optional Asafoetida a pinch, hing
Instructions
Prepare the Daliya
- Soak the broken wheat in water for at least 30 minutes.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan or wok over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida (if using) and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add finely chopped onions, green chilies, and ginger. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Add the chopped bell pepper, carrot, beetroot, and cabbage. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine and Simmer
- Add the soaked broken wheat to the pan and stir well to combine with the vegetables.
- Pour in the water, ensuring the mixture is well-coated. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until the daliya is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If the daliya becomes too thick, add a little more water.
Serve
- Serve the vegetable daliya hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional) and enjoy!
