Ingredients
(Can be made sweet or savoury with veggies)
- 1cup Grainova Millet Daliya
- 1tbsp desi ghee
- Sugar or jaggery as per taste/ or 1onion chopped & veggies
- Milk if sweet, few chopped almonds & cashews(optional), cardamom powder
- water
- jeera, salt & pepper if savoury
- coriander leaves chopped if savoury
Method
- Begin by gently roasting Grainova's Millet Daliya in a modest amount of ghee to unlock its nutty aroma and enhance its natural flavors.
- For a sweet variation of the daliya, proceed to cook it in either milk or water, according to preference, before sweetening the mixture with jaggery or sugar to achieve the desired level of sweetness. Incorporate a selection of finely chopped nuts to introduce an element of crunch and elevate the texture of the dish.
- For those inclined towards a savory rendition, start by sautéing a medley of finely chopped vegetables in ghee until they are tender and aromatic. Following this, add the previously roasted Millet Daliya to the pan and cook it with water until the grains are tender and have absorbed the liquid. Season the daliya with salt, pepper, and a choice of spices to suit your palate, ensuring a harmonious blend of flavors.
