Barley Upma With Yogurt Dip

3 from 2 votes

A bed of barley accommodates a medley of nuts, dried fruit, and served with yoghurt dip and accompanied with salad, which is a helathy option for breakfast. By using barley instead of sooji/Rava you can simply eliminate carbs from your breakfast. Perfect balance of protein and fiber keeps your tummy full for longer time and kicks your metabolism high. I am so happy to find an alternative of rava/sooji in my upma.
