    1. Ananda says

      Dear mataji,

      What is the ratio of dalia to water?

      Can we cook this without a pressure cooker? How long does it take to cook that way, and does the lid have to be kept on tight, just like rice?

      • anjanaskc says

        Hi Ananda – the ratio is mentioned in the recipe (amount of water vs amount of dalia). This can be cooked in a pressure cooker – but it will take some more water and a little longer to cook. The lid will have to be kept on tight.

      Perfect for Sunday brunch. Mom used to make this often, in a similar way. This very much reminds me of her. 🙂
