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!
