Broken wheat is a grain that is made from raw wheat kernels which are crushed into smaller pieces. This is rich in fibre and other nutrients. This is called as Wheat Rava/ Lapsi /Dalia. Though rice is close to my heart this is one dish that i love to have as a substitute for rice. This is one of my favourite recipe from childhood. Everyone at home loves this when mom prepares it. It is generally served along with any veg or non veg kurmas. Mom serves this with Brinjal Gravy. Happened to taste this dish in my cousins wedding a few days back where i could see capsicum added into this dish. I like the taste too. Broken Wheat makes this dish suitable for weight watchers and diabetics. Enrich your diet with great taste and nutrition of broken wheat and vegetables.
