what is it called in english?
and how do u make it?
and is it true that it is rich in fiber (sp?) and hence good for losing weight?
Re: Daliya
It's called Porridge by Brits and Oat-meal by Americans.
The best Oat-meal is old fashioned one which you boil in water and eat w/out sugar or milk. It's a tasteless meal but extremely healthy for you. It comprises of low-glyemic or slow-burning carbs which fuel your body all day long. Highly recommended.

I thot it was a gaali...
Re: Daliya
ahh so porridge n oat meal are same.. thats where i was confused. thanks LI.
Re: Daliya
yup oatmeal is high in fibre..and fibre is much needed in the balanced diet..you can get those breakfast pouches of oatmeal..those are a bit sweet..you stir some water and microwave it..they come in cinnamon, apple and 2/3 other flavours. One of my ex-colleagues used to eat those at work..so, just to try them out..i got the mixed flavoured box with 6 pouches. Maybe, you can try just one flavour and it could be in small packing. Some people bake oatmeal honey energy bars etc to use as snack.
I personally like oatmeal in cookies form or namkeen form...not the methi dalia form..
This is what i do..i take leftover daal..add some oatmeal, water, spices, corriander/green chilly etc to it..and then add chicken or qeema or beef (whatever is leftover) and cook it for 3/4 minutes..it used to turn out like haleem..I used to give this fake haleem to ammi for lunch few years ago when she was losing weight because of diabetes.
Re: Daliya
you mean, mixing up all the left overs and cooking them together is actually good for health? especially diabetes???
Re: Daliya
Qrius... sholla kichri right? mom makes it that way too :D best way to utilize left overs..
Re: Daliya

Re: Daliya
Porridge is quite nice to eat once you get over it's appearance. It always reminds me of wallpaper paste.
Re: Daliya
i like oatmeal... especially if you put in jam/jelly (strawberry or any kind) instead of sugar...
Re: Daliya
I can make best dalya in chicken+stock for myself. 
But, everyone around me wants it more badly
So no matter how mjuch quantity i make, it end up in no time. 
Sara the galli is dalla not Dalya
Dalya is explained in english by LB. It is very good for health
Re: Daliya
I love to have Daliya, when it is mixed with other Daals and makes Haleem.
Re: Daliya
^lol...
i think b@$t@rd??? not sure,, my knowledge of galiyan is limited.
Re: Daliya
TNWB, by leftover i meant what you cook in evening/night time can be reused next day for lunch..i didn't mean to collect food for days..if that's what you thought.
khawateen, i am not sure about shola khichri..it was something i experimented once..i have heard the name of shola..isn't that more along the lines of naulakha..where they also add roti pieces as well.
Re: Daliya
not really.. u can add rice aswell.. its mostly to do with rice and ghenu (sp???)
Re: Daliya

And guess what, Last nite I went home and my younger brother had already made that dalya in chicken. It was so dillicious . All four of us ate whole meal which was enough for 6 ppl.
Now i know how/why Goldlilocks ate the porridge of Papa bear, mama bear and baby bear and went to sleep.
I can eat 3 ppl’s porridge in one go too
