Instant Pot Broken Wheat Pulao | Dalia Pulao


Cracked Wheat Pulao or Dalia Pulao can be made in the instant pot very quickly. This pulao is cooked with vegetables, garlic and spices. This is my favorite recipe and it can be replaced for rice pulao.  This is fiber-rich food may reduce chronic disease risk, promote weight loss and improve digestion.


Dalia or Bulgur is popular all over the wheat-consuming regions of North India. Dalia has more fiber and protein, and higher levels of most vitamins and minerals.  This dish is a great alternative to rice pulao, and much more nutritious.
