Daliya Soup
Daliya Soup is a very usual item for Iftaar in Ramadhan in my house. I had first tasted it in my Khala/Aunt’s house and since then loved it always. It is highly nutritious and useful for a body which has been fasting throughout the day providing it with vital nutrients and comforting it.
Daliya/Broken Wheat and Whole Green Gram/Sabut Moong Dal
Daliya is Broken wheat. It is also used to prepare Haleem, an another Ramadhan special dish for Muslims.
Do not serve serve it piping hot when you break the fast at Iftaar. Serve it lukewarm. Your kids will also enjoy this healthy and nutritious soup.

Hi Mona, how’s the fasting going ?
I’m already running out of what soups to make everyday. I’d love to try this soup, but hubby is a fussy eater, so i get restricted with so many things. This soup looks so wholesome n yummy. Maybe i’ll come over one day n break fast with you 🙂
Kate, Alhamdulillah my fasts are going on good. Sure!, do drop by sometime, it will be a pleasure to have your company.~Mona

The soup looks so appetizing. Reminds me of the Haleem stands in Hyderabad during Ramzan. Can you please post any vegetarian version of haleem. I would love to try it.
You can try my Haleem recipe, I have explained there how to prepare a vegetarian version too~Mona

hi mona… I happened to stumble upon your blog recently, & I must say, I’m so pleased I did!!!! I’v made a mental note of SOOOO many recipes I want to try my hand at…inshaAllah I’l let you know how they turn out – when I do 🙂
i do have a quick question though… is “broken wheat” the same as “cracked wheat”? I have that sitting at home, & am wondering if I can use that here… it looks pretty much the same as the picture…
thanks for the great recipes!

Cracked wheat takes a little bit longer time to cook. You can substitute it for Broken wheat~Mona

Can you use regular moon dal instead of whole?
Naaz, whole moong dal is recommended for this preparation.
