You can cut down your rice (veg pulao instant pot) intake by substituting this dalia pulao recipe. This pulao is wise choice compared to white rice which has refined carbohydrate.

I usually make this bulgur pulao as a light dinner or sometimes pack into lunch box. It tastes too good with a small bowl plain yogurt. Or go one step further and make raita like onion tomato raita or cucumber raita.

Other than this dalia recipe, I do make dalia khichdi too.

To make this instant pot dalia, I have use frozen onion tomato masala. It saves some time because no need to saute onions and tomato. So it is just dump and go recipe. Do not have onion tomato masala ready, no worries. The method is mentioned below in notes.
