सुबह के नाश्ते में दलिया का उपयोग उत्तम माना जाता है, क्योंकि यह पर्याप्त मात्रा में ऊर्जा और प्रोटिन प्रदान करता है। चूंकि हमारे शरीर को कैल्शियम की आवश्यकता भी होती है, दही के मिलाने से इसके कैल्शियम के स्तर में बढ़ावा होता है। इस तरह की हेल्थी रेसिपी वो भी बहुत ही सरल और आसान, तरलाजी बहुत शुक्रिया इस लाजबाब नाश्ते की रेसिपी के लिए।

Tasty pancakes made from bulgar. The pancakes have a nice sourness to them with the addition of curds. Very healthy to have as plain flour has been substituted with whole wheat flour.
