Dalia Chole Pulav | Broken Wheat Chickpeas Pulav

Once I had leftover chole and next day I added it in rice, it was good. So next time when I was thinking what to make for dinner,  thought of making chole for a quick dinner but was not interested to make paratha with it, needed one pot dish, so thought of making pulav with it, but already had that so thought lets try something new, took out my broken wheat bag , make chole masala, add dalia in it, one pressure cook whistle , patiently waited till cooker cools down. Then enjoyed it with simple tomato onion salad , which we called kachumber.

Ingredients : 

1 can chickpeas, washed 
1 cup broken wheat (dalia)
1 big onion chopped finely
