There are two types of dalia (broken wheat or bulgur) is available in the store. One is coarse and second is fine. We are using the coarse one also known as ‘fada’. I use fine verity to make Gujarati sweet dishes like lapsi, kansar. This dalia recipe is hearty, healthy and full of deliciousness. We are making this in electric pressure cooker, instant pot. Though it can be made on stove top with our age old traditional pressure cookers. Method mentioned in the notes below.

You can cut down your rice (veg pulao instant pot) intake by substituting this dalia pulao recipe. This pulao is wise choice compared to white rice which has refined carbohydrate. I usually make this bulgur pulao as a light dinner or sometimes pack into lunch box. It tastes too good with a small bowl plain yogurt. Or go one step further and make raita like onion tomato raita or cucumber raita. Other than this dalia recipe, I do make dalia khichdi too. To make this instant pot dalia, I have use frozen onion tomato masala. It saves some time because no need to saute onions and tomato. So it is just dump and go recipe. Do not have onion tomato masala ready, no worries. The method is mentioned below in notes.
