Khichdi is a comfort dish made from rice and lentils. It is easily digestible as compared to other foods. Khichdi is very soft on stomach as it has no spices. Traditionally, khichdi is made with rice and moong dal and tempered with ghee, hing and cumin seeds. In this recipe, I have replaced rice with barley grains and added onions and tomatoes for a spicy twist. Barley has got lot of health benefits. It is rich in fibre and helps to lose weight and lowers cholesterol. Barley khichdi is a comfort food that keeps your stomach full for a long time, due to its high fibre content. Do try this delicious and healthy khichdi for your family!! In this recipe, I have used Oo Mugi barley grains which I received from goindiaorganic thanks to Ms. Kirti Yadav of plattershare, a social media for food enthusiasts. I am happy to share this healthy recipe to the viewers!!
