But, I know a plain (vegetable) Daliya Khichdi can be so boring to have and enjoy be it for diet or whatever reason.! So to make it more interesting and less boring we performed few “experiments”, I’ll be very honest with you’all now.. first, we tried making Daliya with eggs and it tasted fine of course but you know, the heart wants what it wants and it screamed for chicken so finally, we had to try making this dish with egg and chicken this time and believe me I’ve never enjoyed having Daliya Khichdi so much before than I do now, the tender and juicy flavor of marinated chicken when mixed with the Daliya, it became the perfect “Chicken Daliya Khichdi” that can promise you a ride to food heaven,I ain’t lying.
The recipe for making this dish is very simple but little bit different than the regular Daliya Khichdi recipe, in fact this recipe is so easy because of its minimal ingredients requirement that you can cook this dish when you are running out of vegetables or simply in no mood to cook grand items in the kitchen.

A quick Introduction : Daliya or Dalia, known as Bulgur in English is a cracked wheat known for its extremely good source of protein and high-fibre, good for both young and old, who are thinking of losing weight and the diet conscious buddies who can’t keep their hunger pangs in control like me. Daliya is an extremely versatile ingredient, which also proves to be a delicious rice alternative for those trying to cut carbs, want some change in their food menu or for those who simply don’t prefer to have it in the form of porridge cooked either in milk and water topped with berries or nuts, like me. Uggh!
