Dalia Khichdi – Broken Wheat Khichdi

Dalia Khichdi

Dalia khichdi or simply khichri is a very healthy meal option.

Khichdi is a dish from the Indian subcontinent. It is basically a combination of rice and lentils with other spices.

There are lot of variations of this food.

People cook the rice with moong dal, black urad dal, bajra, and other variety of lentils.

Our ancestors have said that, eating khichri one day in a week is very beneficial for our health.

It is an easily digestible meal which millions of people love to eat as a light food option.

Normally kids are very finicky when they learn that there is khichdi in today’s meal.

Khichdi is very easy to cook and anyone can cook with ease.

Popularity

It is a popular dish in many states of India.

Bengal, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Hyderabad, Gujarat, Assam, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra love this dish.

This dish is also popular in Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan.

In Bengal, people call it as khichuri.

They accompany this dish with meat curries, potato chops, and different types of pickles.

In Bihar, it is served along with baingan ka bharta, curd, papadum (papad), pickles, and tilori.

It is a popular dish in Gujarat.

Gujaratis love to eat khichdi along with special kadhi and other accompaniments.

When I visited Gujarat’s Akshardham Temple in the late ’90s.

There they served me a very special khichdi known as Swaminarayan khichdi.

I became a fan and I can’t stop myself from having one more plate of Swaminarayan khichdi.

I even tried the same khichdi in Delhi’s Akshardham Temple but the taste was different.

Though the taste was good but not in comparison with Gujarat’s one.

In Odisha, it is known as Khechidi. Adahengu khechidi is a popular dish of Jagannath temple

Bisi bele bath (hot lentil rice) is a popular variant of khichdi from Karnataka, South India.

Today, I am cooking a very different variant of this dish, known as Dalia khichdi.

I am cooking it with Dalia (broken wheat)

Normally daliya is eaten as sweet porridge in breakfast but I am preparing khichdi with it tonight.

So, enjoy this dish and try yourself with the full recipe below.👇
