Ingredients
For the Barley Pudding
- 1 cup Barley soaked
- 1/2 ltr Milk
- 1/2 cup Coconut Paste fresh
- 1/4 tsp Cardamom ground
- 2 Bay Leaves
For the Mango Puree
- 1/2 cup Mango pureed, ripe
For the Garnish
- 1/4 cup Melon Seeds
- 11 Pistachios
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine the soaked barley, milk, and bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the barley is tender and cooked through. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the coconut paste and ground cardamom. Continue to simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the mango puree. This preserves the fresh mango flavor and prevents it from becoming overcooked.
- Divide the pudding into serving bowls. Garnish with toasted melon seeds and pistachios for added texture and flavor.
