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.
In a heavy bottom pan dry roast barley. Put olive oil. Toast for some time. Now add vegetable stock. Cook for 20-25 minutes till barley is 90% cooked. Add dried nuts and fruits to it. Add all toasted seeds. Add salt & black pepper.
Add Lemon and zest. Add chopped mint. Drizzle some olive oil.
For Dip:
Mix the tahini and mint into the yoghurt. For a
little heat, add some red chilli powder. Add oregano. Add crushed garlic. Mix well.
Serve barley upma with salad on side and Yogurt dip.
