Vegetable Daliya

When it comes to hearty Indian breakfasts for weight loss, few dishes can match the comfort and nutrition of Vegetable Dalia (broken wheat porridge). Packed with fibber, complex carbs, and essential nutrients, Dalia makes for a filling breakfast that keeps you energized for hours.

I recommend Dalia to clients who need a slow-digesting, wholesome start to their day.

Why Vegetable Dalia Works for Weight Loss

  • High in fibre – keeps you full for longer and prevents overeating.
  • Low in calories, high in satiety – perfect for portion control.
  • Complex carbs – provide steady energy release.
  • Versatile – can be made savoury or sweet (weight loss version = savoury with veggies).
