Ingredients

• Daliya (cracked wheat): 1 cup

Method

1. Put the daliya in a pan and add 2 cups of water.
2. Pressure cook the daliya for 2 whistles. Once the pressure cooker has cooled down, take out the daliya and spread it on a plate to separate the grains. Let it cool so that it does not become sticky.
3. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on the stove.
4. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, turmeric powder and hing one by one.
5. Add the green chillies and curry leaves. Add the onion and cook until soft.
6. Add the green peas and sauté for a little while.
7. Add the daliya and mix well. Add the lemon juice and mix again.
8. Sprinkle some water over it, cover and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
9. Garnish with coriander and fresh coconut.
