Sweet Dalia (Cracked Wheat Pudding)
Healthy milky cracked-wheat dessert — lightly sweet and comforting
Meetha dalia — broken wheat cooked in milk with sugar and cardamom until soft and creamy. A nutritious Indian dessert and breakfast treat.
Ingredients
Main
- ½ cup dalia (broken wheat / cracked wheat), rinsed
- 3 cups milk
- ¼ cup sugar (or to taste)
- ½ tsp green cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Cook dalia. Boil dalia in water until par-cooked; drain. Simmer in milk with sugar and cardamom until thick and soft.
- Serve. Garnish with nuts and serve warm.
Pro tip: Par-boil dalia first for even texture — cooking only in milk can take very long and scorch easily.
