Broken wheat is a very versatile ingredient, which can be used to make dishes ranging from upma to salads. Tasty treats like Broken Wheat Upma and Broken Wheat Salad with Chick Peas and Roasted Pepper prove this fact.

Here is yet another recipe to add to your broken wheat cookbook! Tagine is a famous North African dish in which broken wheat is cooked along with spices, veggies, and other ingredients. While Tagine is traditionally cooked in a special cone-shaped clay pot, here we show you how to make a marvelous but easy Tagine using a simple non-stick pan.

This sumptuous dish combines broken wheat with a range of healthy veggies, and is flavoured zestfully with spice powders like garam masala. Serve the Tagine hot and fresh.
