Jawar Dalia

Jowar dalia, also spelt jawar dalia, is sorghum (jowar) that has been cracked into small grits, similar to wheat dalia. In English it is called broken sorghum or sorghum grits. Jowar is a traditional grain of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Rajasthan, best known for jowar bhakri and jowar roti. In dalia form, jowar cooks faster and suits one-pot meals. Make a jowar khichdi with moong dal and vegetables, a namkeen dalia with onion, tomato, peas and curry leaves cooked like upma, or a sweet porridge with milk, jaggery and cardamom. It can also replace rice in pulao style dishes and go into soups. Rinse the dalia, dry roast it lightly for a nutty flavour, then cook with water until soft. Soaking it for 30 minutes speeds up cooking. This jowar dalia comes from Barodola Farmers Producer Company Limited, a farmer producer company, and is delivered across India. Available in a 750 g pack.
