Vegetable Daliya- healthy and easy to make porridge of broken wheat and vegetables
Vegetable daliya or Namkeen daliya is my favourite breakfast recipe. It is easy to make and light to digest too. Whenever i am not in the mood of cooking proper lunch then i make this vegetable daliya upma with some curd on side.
Daliya is also known as broken wheat or cracked wheat or Fada in Gujarati .It is highly nutritious and rich in fiber and protein. Daliya is used to make sweet and savoury both type of recipes. We make daliya ki kheer, Lapsi and daliya and moong khichdi regularly and posted the recipes in the blog.
This vegetable daliya or fada upma is easy to make and taste delicious. You can add your favourite vegetables in it. The quantity of vegetables also depends on your preference. If you are in hurry and don’t have time for cutting chopping etc then can only add tomatoes and frozen peas and make a delicious meal for yourself.
It is also a good weight loss recipe. It is very nutritious and easily digestible so also suitable for a person who is sick or recovering from a illness. It is an easy breakfast, brunch, lunch or tiffin recipes
If you are vegan then just skip ghee and use your regular cooking oil to roast it. It can also be easily made in an instant pot.
I like it little soft in texture so the ratio for making it is 1:4 , but you can make it drier or more soupy by adjusting the quantity of water. Daliya tends to thicken after some time as daliya absorb water. So if it become dry after some time then add some hot water, mix and heat.
Add a tsp of ghee on top and serve hot with chutney, dahi, pickle or papad and enjoy a healthy meal.
Tips for making it perfectly-
- You can add any vegetables of your choice or availability.The quantity of vegetables can also be adjusted as per your preference, can add more or less.
- Can also make this daliya by adding only tomatoes and peas.
- The cooking time also depends on the quality of the daliya, if you are using the thicker one then it may take more time to cook. try to select medium thick daliya for this.
- This can thicken when it become cold so add hot water and heat it again.
- Can also make in an instant pot or in a heavy bottom pan instead of pressure cooker , in that case you have to add some extra water.
