Ingredients

  • 1 cup daliya (broken wheat)
  • 1/2 cup moong dal (split yellow lentils)
  • 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1/2 cup Mixed Vegetables (carrots, peas, beans, etc.) finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • salt to taste
  • 4 cups water
  • fresh coriander leaves for garnish
  • lemon wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  • Wash and Prepare: Wash the Daliya and Moong Dal thoroughly and drain the water.
  • Heat Ghee/Oil: In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or pressure cooker, heat the ghee or oil over medium heat.
  • Saute Cumin Seeds: Add the cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
  • Add Onions: Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
  • Add Tomatoes: Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they become soft and mushy.
  • Add Vegetables: Now, add the mixed vegetables and sauté for a few minutes until they start to soften.
  • Add Spices: Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
  • Add Daliya and Dal: Add the washed Daliya (broken wheat) and Moong Dal (split yellow lentils) to the pot. Mix everything together.
  • Add Water: Pour in the 4 cups of water and stir the mixture.
  • Pressure Cook: If using a pressure cooker, close the lid without the weight and cook for 2-3 whistles on medium heat. If using a regular pot, cover it with a lid and simmer until the Daliya and Dal are cooked, stirring occasionally. It may take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Check Consistency: Once cooked, check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add more hot water to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Garnish: Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
  • Serve: Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side (optional).
    Daliya Khichadi is a comforting and healthy dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Adjust the spice level and vegetables to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
