Add water, salt and sugar, and bring to boil. Lower heat, and let the dalia simmer uncovered for 7-8 minutes or until the dalia is cooked, and nearly all the water has boiled out. It is important that you do not let the dalia become completely dry. During this step, keep scraping the bottom of the pot with your spatula to prevent the dalia from sticking.
