Thanks Hetal,
would be the same the one which we make kausar from?

Hi Ami,
It’s basically the same except that the texture of the cracked wheat for kausar is much finer (similar to sooji). This type of cracked wheat is used to make faadaa lapsi.

Hello,
I wanted to know if it is fine to use water instead of the broth??
Regards!

Hi Shivani,
Yes, you can definitely use plain water instead of broth. You will lose out on some of the depth of flavor that the broth will bring to the recipe, but it will still work fine.

Hello girls,
Tried this just now and could not wait to eat and post comment. Just finished eating in one go and now typing…I have never had such daliya delight. It is healthy and tasty both…a rare combination though!!!
I changed the original recipe a bit. I used couscous instead of daliya and added a bit of roasted cashews and walnuts and sultana raisins along with almonds and pine nuts. I added green peas and sweetcorn too to it. It is out of this world now. Best salad till date I would rather say.
Will be in my take along lunch menu for me and my hubby as it very filling too. No problem untill evening and hence no snacking in between and stacking our tummys with rubbish crisps.
NO WORDS NOT EVEN THANX, TOO CONTENTED TO SPEAK NOW

Hi Hetal,Anuja,
Love your site.

March 7th, 2010 at 12:09 pm
if i use couscous, how much water do I need to add? can i pressire cook it? if yes, how many whistles?

Hi Lavi,
Couscous is very easy to prepare. Use a 1 to 2 ratio (couscous to water). Boil water in a pan with lid. Once the water boils, turn off the stove, add in the couscous and a bit of salt, stir, cover and keep for 15 minutes. Open and fluff up with a fork. Add remaining ingredients.

Hi Bhavna,
So sorry about that!
Honestly, we have never made it with Oats (but it is excellent with Cous Cous and Quinoa). Let us know if you do try it, it will be interesting to know.

Sorry Shais, we missed your question.
We have not used this type of wheat before but it should work just fine. If you need to soak in water before using, you may want to try to soak it in broth for additional flavor. And, if you do try it out, please let us know your feedback…it will help others as well. Thanks.

Hello,
Thanks a bunch for this recipe. I am going to try this tomorrow for lunch
.
Do we use the same method (to boil cracked wheat with water) to make kansar? And in the end add powdered sugar and ghee?
I appreciate your response.

Yes, you can follow the same method but you can add a little ghee and sugar to the water. You can add additional ghee and powdered sugar on top while serving.
