Barley is a highly versatile grain which is exceptionally nutritious in terms of its protein and fibre content. It has a muted flavour profile which can be subtly enhanced with a mix of flavourful herbs and spices. Vegetables add a lovely texture to the pilaf.
Ingredients:
Barley
Onions
Garlic
Ginger
Green chillies
Tomatoes
Beans
Carrots
Capsicum
Bell peppers
Salt
Red chilli powder
Black pepper
Recipe:
Saute onion, garlic, ginger and chillies and add pureed tomato to the mix.
Once the masala starts to consolidate and leave oil, add vegetables and cook.
Roast barley dry for 2-3 minutes and then wash.
Add thoroughly washed barley to the pan and add water and cook it while stirring occasionally.
Once the barley has cooked, it’ll grow in size and would be ready to eat.
P.S. – Add vegetables in order of their cooking time instead of all at once to allow for uniform cooking for each type of vegetable.
