Dalia (Cracked Wheat) with Chicken and Roasted Bell Pepper
Dalia is usually prepared for breakfast, mostly in the form of Khichdi. I find it difficult to find couscous in Vizag so I substitute it with cracked wheat also called dalia. For Nehal’s dinner I prepared a Dalia recipe with Moroccan flavors. It makes for a light, flavorful, quick, one pot healthy food for kids.
