Mom's Favourite Dalia for Breakfast image

This was taught to me last year by my Mom's elder sister, Bindu D. Kapoor. This is a nutritious breakfast and well worth the effort. Diabetics may also have this. A cup of tea on the side and this is the perfect start to your day. Enjoy!

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

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

1 tablespoon fresh green peas

  • 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.
