Barley is a highly nutritious whole grain known as Jau. It is used in various ways to make Barley water, Salad or Khichdi.
It improves digestion, helps in weight loss and ideal for heart health. It has chewy texture and rich in fiber content.
I tried to make Barley upma with mixed vegetables that I enjoyed with Toor Dal. It can also be prepared in one pot with Moong Dal. So, give it a try. I won't say you will love it😊 but it is a healthy choice.
