My mother’s specialty is Daliya / Wheat Rava Kichadi. Whenever I visit Trichy, I request my mother to make it at least once. This is a very simple and healthy recipe. By adding lots of vegetables and sprouts, it can be transformed into a perfect one-pot meal.
Ghee roasting adds a nice texture, so don’t skip it. This is ideal for lunch boxes, especially for those who prefer not to eat rice. I used spring onion because I like the flavour, but if you don’t have any, you can leave it out.
