    Instant Pot Dalia Recipe - This broken wheat or bulgur pulao is spiced with Indian spices and made more nutritious by adding few vegetables.

    Dalia Recipe (Instant Pot Bulgur Pulao), Dalia Pulao Recipe

    There are two types of dalia (broken wheat or bulgur) is available in the store. One is coarse and second is fine. We are using the coarse one also known as ‘fada’. I use fine verity to make Gujarati sweet dishes like lapsi, kansar.

    This dalia recipe is hearty, healthy and full of deliciousness. We are making this in electric pressure cooker, instant pot. Though it can be made on stove top with our age old traditional pressure cookers. Method mentioned in the notes below.

    Instant Pot Bulgur Pulao Recipe Rundown:

    • Pros: healthy, light on stomach, full of dietary fiber that helps in easy digestion, ready in 30 minutes.
    • Cons: None

    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.

    Notes

    To make dalia pulao in stove top pressure cooker: use 2 cups of water and cook for 2 whistles on medium heat.
    To make dalia recipe without frozen OTM: after sauteing spices, add ¼ cup chopped onions, 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste and cook till onions become soft and translucent. Then add ½ cup chopped tomatoes and cook till soft. Continue with next steps.
    Serving suggestion: serve instant pot bulgur pulao with plain yogurt or raita (onion tomato raita, cucumber raita, tadka raita). You can have roasted papad on side for crunch.
