Dalia (Broken Wheat) Salad

Many times I read about Couscous Salad and I want to do this. But Couscous is not available easily in India. So I decided to use broken wheat (dalia) instead of Couscous. Daliya is easily available as well as very healthy.

Ingredients:

• Broken wheat(Dalia/ Lapashi rawa)- ¼ cup
• Vegetable stock or water- ½ cup
• Black raisins- 8
• Walnut chunks, roasted - 1 tbsp
• Green bell pepper/ capsicum- 2 tbsp
• Yellow bell pepper- ¼ cup
• Red bell pepper- ¼ cup
• Sweet corn kernels, boiled- ¼ cup
• Cucumber, peeled and cubed- ½ cup
• Olive oil- 1 tsp
• Lemon juice- 2 tsp
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped- 1 tbsp
• Chilli flakes- ½ tsp
• Salt and pepper- to taste
• Lettuce leaves- as required

Method:

• Roast Dalia in a non-stick pan till turns slightly reddish.
• Bring to boil stock or water in an another pan.
• Pour hot stock or water over hot dalia. Cover and cook for 5 to 8 minutes or till cooked. (or microwave for 3 min.), let it cool.
• Mix all above ingredients with dalia in a large bowl.
• Garnish it with lettuce leaves before serving.

Tip: You may add your choice vegetables, fruits and dry-fruits.
