Savoury bulgur wheat porridge recipe, how to make vegetable dalia, namkin dalia recipe with step by step photos and a very quick video recipe. Bulgur wheat porridge is the recipe you can usually prepare during your busy weekdays. This one is not only a quick one-pot meal but a comfy and satisfying recipe too.

Basically dalia is a hindi word for broken wheat or broken cereals. broken wheat is widely used in india for preparing both sweet and savory recipes. We prepared “lapsi” which is a sweet recipe on our festive days apart from the vegetable dalia I am sharing today.

Dalia or broken wheat is considered as a simplest and healthy food. They are low in fat and cholesterol, high in iron and fibre. It is also good in carbs. It is often recommended to growing kids and people recovering from illness. My father is a diabetic patient and he normally chooses broken wheat instead of rice.

You can prepare dalia khichadi just like moth khichadi or dal khichadi. The version I am sharing today is a porridge loaded with vegetables. The consistency of this vegetable dalia porridge is slight soupy but some people do love thick consistency so kindly adjust according to your taste.

Coming to the recipe making part, This recipe does not require prior soaking but as you guys already know that I highly recommend following a soaking process prior whenever you are working with lentils and pulses. This vegetable dalia recipe is a versatile recipe as you can use your choice of vegetables. I have used tiny aubergine(baigan), potatoes, green peas and ivy gourd(tindola). I did not use many spices because I wanted to create a recipe which is perfect for breakfast as well brunch. Ghee is also considered as a good fat so I used it instead of oil.

  1. When I first saw porridge, I immediately assumed this would be a sweeter recipe. I love the savory addition of veggies and onion here. I believe broken wheat is close to bulgur wheat, and that’s widely available here in the States. Yum!

    1. thank you David… Technically bulgur wheat and broken wheat is same I guess.. I just that in india, we have different types of wheats which have different shades of brown sometimes.
