Dalia Upma/ Broken wheat upma


For dalai upma, I took for 2 of us, 1 cup dalia, roasted it well & kept aside. For seasoning, 2 tsp oil,
1/2 tsp mustard seeds,          2 tsp each chana & udad dals     4 green chilies cut fine 1" ginger cut fine
5 garlic pearls cut fine  1 big onion, 1 carrot, 1 green capsicum cut fine, 2 tbsp peas.
heat oil after seasoning with mustard seeds, add curry leaves, then the finely cut vegetables, with wee bit of salt, cook lightly till veges turn slightly soft. Add this to the roasted dalia, with about 1 tsp salt, 2 cups of water mix well, pressure cook for 2 whistles.

ps- dalia is good for diabetes, as it is rich in fiber. This makes a good breakfast, as it has complex carbohydrates, with plenty of vitamins. it is very filling. It is better to eat your b'fast like a king & dinner like a pauper, that is what I prefer to do & also eat an early dinner.
