Daliya (cracked wheat) is one of the most versatile grains in our kitchen — great for
breakfast, lunch, or dinner. But making it perfectly fluffy? That’s where most people
struggle. Here’s how you can master it:
1. **Roast It First** — Dry roast your daliya in a pan until it turns slightly golden and aromatic. This enhances its flavor and prevents stickiness. 2. **Use the Right Water Ratio** — For every 1 cup of daliya, use 3–3.5 cups of water for soft and fluffy porridge. For a drier texture, reduce the water slightly. 3. **Cook on Low Heat** — Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat and let it cook slowly. This ensures each grain absorbs water evenly. 4. **Add Flavor** — Make it sweet with milk, sugar, and dry fruits — or savory with salt, ghee, and vegetables. • **Bonus Tip:** Store cooked daliya in the fridge and reheat with a little milk or water for a quick meal anytime.
