hi Can someone please tell me some good Indian recipes with barley and quinoa. Its apparently very healthy and nutritious. Thanks
I don't know about barley, but I simply use quinoa in place of rice. Mind you - it doesn't clump up with curry, so you'll either have to add roti/chapati or use a spoon, but I find that it's a really good alternative to rice, especially if you're watching your weight or trying to lose it, as I am currently.
1.-- Make Quinoa uppma -make everything like sooji uppma -add quinoa instead of sooji --add alittle more water +more of green coriander+ a little more oil and any veggies you like, wash the quinoa before use-this is very good for lunch or dinner , breakfast or snack. 2.-- plain cooked quinoa can be used for salads ---stuffings like capsicums or mushrooms. 3---cooked quinoa added with potato +spices can be used for stuffed parathas or samosas. Qunioa powder 4.-- quinoa 1/2 cup+ jeera 1 tsp+dhania seeds1tsp + curry leaves 8 to ten ,dry chillis to taste, sesame seeds 2 tsp--roasted dry in a pan till aroma comes out powder it with salt.Use it in hot rice with a little ghee this is very tasty quinoa is very healthy BARLEY Boil 1 tblsp Barley with 4-5 cups water till seeds cooked drink this in summer --good for urinary infection add buttermilk with little salt .with fever add milk with sugar . Barley water is good for heat stroke and loose motions.use it in any gravies or veggies .

Barley can be cooked much like oatmeal with a little bit of milk and honey, for breakfast. It is very filling. I make quinoa salad like couscous salad - cooked, fluffed up with fork and then tossed with any vegetable, raisins or nuts. It is sooooo yummy!
