Vegetable Daliya Khichdi- Healthy lentil,vegetable and broken wheat porridge
Daliya /broken wheat is made with unrefined wheat so its full of fiber ,vitamins, Iron, phosphorous and minerals.In past few years oats have became very popular world wide and now in India it also become a favorite and popular breakfast but they are quite expensive and not very easily accessible in small towns and centers.
Broken wheat/daliya is equally healthy and nutritious like oats though not as quick to make as oats.You can make many sweet and savoury dishes with daliya,sweet milk porridge – Daliya ki kheer, or can make- Daliya and vegetable upma which take few minutes to make.
Today I am sharing a delicious, healthy and filling vegetable, daal and daliya khichdi which can be served for breakfast, main meal and can also be given to small kids and patients as it is not only very healthy but also very easy to digest.
You don’t need any accompaniment to serve with this daliya khichdi , its a complete one pot meal but if you want to make it more interesting then curd,papad and salad are preferred to serve along with this vegetable daliya khichdi

Tempering/ waghar/ tadka

Instructions
- Wash moong daal with water and keep aside.

- Heat ghee in a small pan and add cumin and asafoetida.
- When cumin become red then add it in the khichdi and switch off the flame.

- Serve hot with a tsp of ghee on top.
Notes
- I have used yellow moong daal but you can also make this with green moong daal, masoor daal or tuvar daal but avoid using urad daal or chana daal if you are making this for kids or patients as these two daal's are quite heavy and not so easy to digest.
- Can add any vegetable of your choice like chopped potato,cauliflower,corn ,squash, bottle gourd,spinach etc.
- I have used 1/2 cup of each vegetable but you can increase the amount of vegetable if you wish.
- If you want to make it little watery then add 3 cups or 3.5 cups of water at step-7
