To make this recipe vegan, replace ghee with coconut oil or a vegan butter, and substitute dairy milk with a plant-based milk like almond, soy, or oat milk.
Omit the jaggery and milk. Instead, temper mustard seeds and cumin seeds in oil, then sauté onions, tomatoes, and your favorite vegetables (like peas and carrots) before adding the roasted dalia. Cook with water and season with turmeric and salt.
Enhance the nutritional value and flavor by topping the cooked dalia with fresh fruits like chopped bananas, apples, or pomegranate seeds just before serving.
Dalia is made from whole wheat, making it an excellent source of dietary fiber. Fiber promotes healthy digestion, prevents constipation, and helps maintain a feeling of fullness, which can aid in weight management.
As a complex carbohydrate, dalia is digested slowly, leading to a gradual release of glucose into the bloodstream. This provides steady and sustained energy, making it an ideal breakfast to start your day.
This dish contains essential minerals like iron from jaggery and magnesium and phosphorus from the whole wheat. These minerals are vital for blood production, bone health, and various metabolic functions.
Yes, Sweet Dalia is a very healthy dish. Dalia (cracked wheat) is a whole grain rich in fiber, protein, and essential minerals. It aids in digestion and provides sustained energy. Using jaggery instead of refined sugar adds iron and minerals. To make it even healthier, you can reduce the amount of ghee and jaggery.
One serving (approximately 1 cup or 225g) of this Sweet Dalia contains around 350-400 calories. The exact count depends on the type of milk used (full-fat vs. low-fat) and the amount of ghee and jaggery.
Absolutely. To make it vegan, replace the ghee with coconut oil or a neutral vegetable oil, and use a plant-based milk such as almond, soy, or oat milk instead of dairy milk.
Yes, a pressure cooker significantly speeds up the process. After roasting the dalia in ghee in the cooker, add the water, close the lid, and cook for 2-3 whistles on medium heat. Let the pressure release naturally before adding milk and jaggery and simmering for a few minutes.
Lumps usually form if the dalia isn't stirred well when adding liquid. To fix it, use a whisk to vigorously stir the porridge over low heat. Adding a little extra warm milk while whisking can also help break down the lumps.
