Daliya (Cracked Wheat) Pilaf

If I have to say anything about this receipe, I would say this dish is one of the healthiest dish. It has lot of fibers because cracked wheat is whole wheat; its vegetables provide all the vitamins; and the mung beans (moong daal) covers the protein part. Its very relaxing and light dish.There is no specific list of vegetables to be used for this recipe. You can use a variety of vegetables or whatever is available in your kichen. My kids love this dish and on top of that it is very quick to prepare. I hope you are going to love this recipe.
