Recipe - Vegetable Dalia

This is something I make when I am not in a mood to make something elaborate. This one dish suffices for the whole meal - for the whole family. And everybody loves it.

Ingredients:
1 cup dalia (broken wheat)
1/2 cup moong dal (green - with chilka)
Seasonal Mixed Vegetables -Cut into small pieces/shredded - About 3 cups
(I use carrots, capsicum, cabbage, cauliflower, beans, potatoes, peas - whatever is available in the season )
Salt - as per taste
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Garam Masala - optional
Chopped Coriander Leaves - for garnish.
Water - 4 cups

Method:
Dry roast the Dalia. Wash and soak the dal in water.
In a pressure cooker - add the ghee and when it is hot - add the vegetables. Now cook the vegetables lightly for a minute or two. Add the dalia, drained dal, water and salt and put the lid of the cooker.
When the cooker whistles once, put the gas on slow, and let the dalia cook for about 15 more minutes.
After the cooker cools down enough, open the cooker and mix the garam masala and the coriander leaves to the dalia. Serve immediately.

Tip:
1. I just put all the vegetables (except potatoes) in my food processor - and chop them roughly instead of cutting each of them separately.
2. The dalia can be served with chutney, pickles, papad etc.

This is a very healthy and low calorie dish - especially good for kids and elders.
