Khyati's Health-O-Meter Says:

When it comes to healthy eating, this power-packed complex carbohydrate cracked/broken wheat or dalia is one of the best. It plays a great contribution in controlling one's body weight. It contains virtually no fats and also free from saturated and trans fatty acids. Not only does it give an appealing taste, but also adds to the crunchiness when eaten. Adding vegetables to it would increase its overall nutritional content.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Broken wheat (dalia, raw) - 2 tbsp 
  • Mustard seeds ( rai / sarson) - ¼ tsp
  • Ginger-garlic (adrak-lehsun) paste - 1 tsp
  • Finely chopped green chillies - 1 Tsp
  • Chopped mixed vegetables - ½ cup(Cauliflower, beans, carrot, green peas)
  • Turmeric powder (haldi) - ¼ tsp
  • Chilli powder - ½ tsp
  • Salt - to taste
  • Oil - 1 Tsp

DIRECTIONS:
Step 1 Clean and wash the broken wheat thoroughly in enough water. Drain and keep aside. Heat the oil in a pressure cooker and add the mustard seeds. Step 2 When the seeds crackle, add the ginger-garlic paste, onions, green chillies mixed vegetables, broken wheat, turmeric powder, chilli powder, salt and 2½ cups of hot water, mix well and pressure cook on a high flame for 2 whistles. Step 3 Allow the steam to escape using a quick release method (refer handy tip)before opening the lid. Serve hot garnished with coriander.
