Daliya recipe

My mom makes this daliya recipe so often that it’s become a family favorite and our go-to breakfast.

I love it because she flavors it with cardamom and crushed almonds and of course a little sugar. I love enjoying my Sweet Daliya with milk.

What is Daliya?

Daliya is cracked wheat. You can make a sweet or savory version of daliya. This is Sweet Daliya which is flavored with cardamom and crushed almonds. My Sweet Daliya recipe tastes like kheer (Indian rice pudding). 

Can I make this recipe vegan, gluten-free?

For a vegan option, use coconut oil instead of butter. Also, should you choose to add milk, opt for a dairy-free milk.

For a gluten-free option, you can use steel-cut oats which is a close substitute. Daliya contains gluten.

How do I meal prep Daliya?

Daliya is perfect for meal-prepping. Simply make this recipe as stated. Once cooked, do not add any milk. Simply transfer the cooked daliya with sugar, crushed almonds, and cardamom to a pyrex container. Place the daliya in the refrigerator. 

How do I make my Daliya with milk?

Once you’re ready to eat daliya, heat it up in the microwave or cook it on the stove. I like to cook my daliya on the stove and add milk (cashew milk) as needed. Also, I prefer my daliya runny. Feel free to use regular milk or dairy-free.

How else can I flavor this Sweet Daliya recipe?

For a more kheer-like flavor, you can add saffron, pistachios, cashews, raisins to this dish.

Instead of sugar, you can use jaggery, but be careful adding hot milk to jaggery as it can easily curdle (I’ve experienced this).

Do I need to wash the Daliya before cooking?

No. Treat daliya as you would oatmeal, hence you don’t need to wash daliya before using it. Simply add the daliya to your choice of fat – I like butter, then saute.

Tips on making Sweet Daliya recipe:

  • Roast the daliya in butter until the color changes.
  • Add water and cook on High Pressure.
  • Once cooked, add sugar, cardamom, and crushed almonds.
  • Pour milk on top – optional.

Daliya Recipe (healthy-ish)

Ingredients you’ll need for :

Daliya (cracked wheat): Daliya is also known as cracked wheat. You can easily find daliya at your local Indian grocery store. Alternatively, you can find daliya on Amazon.

Butter: I love KerryGold unsalted butter, you may use ghee instead, or coconut oil for a vegan option.

Water: Regular cold tap water works.

Sugar: I like using cane sugar for this recipe, but you may also use brown sugar. Additionally, you may use jaggery, however be careful when combining jaggery and hot milk as it can curdle (I’ve experienced this).

Cardamom: You can easily find powdered cardamom at the Indian grocery store or Whole Foods.

Almonds: You will need 1/2 cup of crushed almonds. All you need to do is take some almonds and pulse them in a food processor. Do not grind them to the point where it turns into almond butter, but just a few quick pulses will do it. You can easily store crushed almonds in a jar for weeks.

Milk: For this recipe, I like adding milk just before serving. My milk of choice is cashew milk.

PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's PANEER TIKKA QUESADILLAS are mouthwatering! Here's an Indo-Fusion dish you will love! I made a delicious marinade for the paneer and sauteed it along with the veggies. Assemble your whole wheat quesadillas and cook until the cheese has melted. The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
