Press SAUTE on the Instant Pot. Add oil in to the pot.
Once the pot is hot, add in the cumin seeds, green chilies. Saute for few seconds.
Add the chopped onions, minced ginger-garlic. Saute till onions turn light brown in color.
Then add tomato and cook for 2-3 minutes till tomato turns soft.
Then add mixed vegetables, cook for a minute.
Add turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, broken wheat, salt, and water and mix well.
Close the lid on the pot, and turn pressure valve to SEALING position.
Set the pot to MANUAL/PRESSURE COOK (High Pressure) and set timer to 7 minutes.
Wait for NATURAL PRESSURE RELEASE(NPR)(Wait until silver button on lid drops).
Once the pressure has released, open the lid, add coriander leaves, juice of half lemon, and mix well.
Broken wheat pulao is ready, serve with yogurt, raita.

Follow the same steps as the instant pot. Pressure cook the pulao for 3 whistles on medium-high flame and turn off the flame. Allow the pressure to release naturally.

Use medium or coarse broken wheat for a fluffy texture.
You can also replace broken wheat with rice, millet or quinoa.
I used fresh vegetables. But you can also use frozen vegetables.
You can pre-roast the dalia in ghee or oil for a nutty aroma and non-sticky texture.
