Daliya or broken wheat is famed for the several health benefits it offers. Daliya or wheat with husk is great for those looking for weight loss and also for those who are diabetic. This is because daliya is a complex carbohydrate. It gets digested very slowly in our body, thus releasing glucose at a slow and sustained rate. The high fibre content in daliya keeps you feel for long, reduces your appetite and thus reducing hunger pangs and promoting weight loss.
You must include daliya in your daily diet, either in the form of daliya upma, daliya salad or daliya kheer. This gehun ki kheer recipe by Executive Sous Chef, Lokesh Jarodia, Novotel Imagica Khopoli is a great dessert option for this festive season.

Another sweetening agent in this recipe, raisins are known to prevent heart diseases, strengthen your bones, act as an aphrodisiac and reduce your risk of getting cancer.
