Although the regular milk gives dalia a porridge-like consistency, you can opt for a few alternatives that make your dalia even healthier. Moreover, the complex carbohydrates present in dalia keeps you fuller for longer and acts as a consistent source of energy.

You can make sweet dalia even healthier if you follow the below steps.

• Instead of adding ghee or butter, you can dry roast the dalia on a low flame until it gives a brownish shade and then add it in your sweet dalia recipe.
• Excess water makes the dalia lumpy. Take water measurements carefully.
• Vegans take notice! You can simply replace the dairy with oat milk or almond and prepare an equally delicious recipe.
• You can completely forgo the refined sugars and use natural organic sweeteners such as jaggery, honey, brown sugars, or any other sugar substitute of your choice.
• If you enjoy a nutty flavour, consider adding some almond flour to the meetha daliya. It enhances the consistency of the dalia and makes it even more nutritious.

The sweet dalia can stay fresh up to 3 days if kept in a refrigerator. If you are planning to consume it over a period of time, consider storing it in a freezer and only thaw the portions that you need to consume. Just take out the required portion and boil it with some milk.
