Execution Timeline

8 SEQUENTIAL TIMED STEPS

1DRY ROAST THE DALIYA
4 MIN

Dry roast the broken wheat in a kadai over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden and smells nutty.

Tip: Stir continuously so it toasts evenly without any dark or burnt grains
2PREP THE VEGETABLES
6 MIN

While the daliya cools, dice the carrot, chop the green beans, finely chop the onion and tomato, and slit the green chili.

3TEMPER THE CUMIN AND MUSTARD SEEDS
2 MIN

Heat the oil in the same kadai or a pressure cooker base over medium heat, then add the cumin seeds and mustard seeds and let them sputter.

Tip: Wait for the mustard seeds to crackle fully before moving on, or the tempering stays underdeveloped
4SAUTÉ THE ONIONS
4 MIN

Add the chopped onion and slit green chili, and sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion turns soft and translucent.

Tip: Translucent, not browned — the onion should soften without picking up color
5ADD VEGETABLES AND TOMATO
5 MIN

Add the carrot, green beans, green peas, tomato, and turmeric, and sauté for a few minutes until the tomato softens and releases its juices.

6ADD THE ROASTED DALIYA, WATER, AND SALT
2 MIN

Stir in the roasted broken wheat along with the water and salt, mixing well so the grains are evenly distributed through the vegetables.

7PRESSURE COOK UNTIL SOFT
5 MIN

Close the lid and pressure cook on medium heat for three whistles, or simmer covered in a pot, until the daliya is fully softened.

Tip: If simmering in an open pot instead of a cooker, keep an eye on the water level and top up if it dries out before the grains soften
8REST, FLUFF, AND GARNISH
5 MIN

Let the pressure release naturally and the daliya rest before opening the lid, then fluff gently with a fork and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
