Mom'S Favourite Dalia For Breakfast - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup Bulgar wheat (i.e., dalia, the fat variety)
    2 3/4 cups water
    2 onions, chopped
    1 green chili, slit
    1 teaspoon mustard seeds
    1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
    3 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander leaves
    3 cauliflower florets
    10 French beans, washed, ends trimmed and chopped
    1 medium tomatoes, chopped
    1 tablespoon chopped carrot
    1 tablespoon fresh green peas
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt (to taste)
    2 tablespoons oil
    4 sprigs of fresh curry leaves, washed and torn
Preparation
    Dry roast the dalia in a wok until lightly brownish in appearance and it smells aromatic.
    Remove from flame and transfer to a plate.
    Now heat oil in the same wok.
    Once hot, add cumin and mustard seeds.
    Allow to splutter.
    Once they stop spluttering, add curry leaves, green chilli and onions.
    Stir-fry until the mixture smells aromatic and the onions are lightly browned.
    Add corriander leaves and mix well.
    Fold in the veggies, salt and tomato. Mix again.
    Stir in about 2 tbsps. of water to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the wok.
    Cook on medium flame for 5 minutes.
    Fold in the roasted dalia and mix thoroughly.
    Add water and then transfer the whole mixture to a pressure cooker.
    Cover and pressure cook for 2-3 whistles.
    This takes about 5 minutes.
    Switch off the gas, and then let the dalia cook in its own steam inside the cooker for 2-3 minutes.
    After 3 minutes, remove from cooker, garnish with corriander leaves and serve hot.
    Enjoy!
