is there any substitute to barley?
I loved recipe of masala Ridge gourd I cooked it so tasty but I peeled the skin love it with Roti and Yogurt now next time like to make with skin well explained.
Edited after original posting.
I forgot to mention that the reciepe posted is indeed a nice one & I am going to try it for a change.
Thank you for your interactive application. I on a daily basis prefer my diet to be barley water 750 ml & barley grains for breakfast & lunch. this has not only helped me in feeling light after a meal, but also helps me in reducing my food intake to desired levels. though a bit of salt is added, I have also decided to go on a salt free diet & if I need salt, then my preference would be Himalayan salt in desired quantity. I am a liver patient and know fully well in addition to medicines, duet plays a vital role. I am indeed happy that I have brought controls to my tongue & taste buds & therefore do not venture back into junk foods. quite difficult to attend social gatherings, but the only way out is avoid attending & believe me it is a tough day to control. once you are able to overcome, just see the difference.
Sounds simple and delicious...like all Tarla Dalal recipes
Never thought that this recipe will turn out soo well...its very tasty and plus sooo nutritious...Great usage of Barley!!!
Colorful, tasty, healthy and awesome is what i can say for this salad or accompaniments. Barley, corn and tomatoes mixed with spring onions and made tangy with lemon juice.
so easy and simple...very nice salad. also add some peanuts (while pressure cooking) it adds a new flavour...
