Dalia payasam is a different option to our regular payasam with rice. We make wheat payasam with coconut milk. This looks different and easy to make too.
Dalia payasam looks incredible. Lovely twist to the traditional rice Kheer.Recipe sounds easy. Dalia is nutritious too.
A healthy n welcome twist to the usual kheer is this daliya payasam..
Very nutritious and delicious sweet treat for celebrations.. we too make a similar version with jaggery powder.. healthy option for dessert time and festivities!!
The best use of dalia is making dalia payasam. I absolutely love payasam and dalia one in my favorite. Healthy and satisfying too.
Innovative way to use dalia in Payasam form . Generally dalia means ,we think of savory version like khichdi or upma ,but making kheer that too with jaggery is a very healthy choice. I have made sheera using wheat rava ,now will definitely make dalia paysam .
Daliya payasam looks absolutely delicious by using jaggery in it which makes it more healthier.

Dalia payasam looks delish Jayashree. A super healthy dessert and I am sure it tastes heavenly. Jaggery almond and milk mixed Dalia can be also served on a fasting day for one time meal without salt. I would love to try it soon.
Dalia payasam looks so tempting Jayashree. I love using dalia so wouldn’t mind trying this recipe at all. It also reminds me of the Gujarati Lapsi which is prepared in a similar fashion but with water and its usually dryish.
Such an interesting recipe, definitely a new one for me, Jaya. I enjoy payasam but have never had it with cracked wheat before, and have just learnt about dalia today! I am definitely trying this.
looks so pretty and delicious with jaggery and broken wheat. Will make soon with the date palm jaggery which I have.
Dalia Payasam sounds absolutely creamy and delectable! This is such a healthy and nutritious dessert for any celebration.
