It's really filling - 2 tbsps and that's enough!<BR/>Jyothi, yes, pearls! Thanks.<BR/>Ramya, it's not bad at all - go for it!<BR/>Cynthia, the dish is savoury, it's not sweet but the raisins add a bit of sweet-sour when you bite into them - without the spices, it would be quite bland. Lessen the barley, and it could be a salad too, I suppose!<BR/>Sreelu, I said the opposite LOL! Anything that goes down with difficulty is good for health.

I was resigned to it tasting so-so but it tasted quite good, especially one day later.<BR/>Sig, thanks. Maybe you could try brown rice? Or wild rice - I've not eaten it but it sounds nice, LOL! What about couscous? That would be soft enough.<BR/>Sia, my guinea pig just sniffs and pecks at my experiments, says v nice and proceeds to eat rice and pickle!!!<BR/>Asha, I do that too, buy a lot of new stuff and keep it for years - then dump it - don't turn into me!<BR/>Sunita, do I sense a ... but..? It's worth a try.<BR/>Richa, the flavours improved with keeping!<BR/>Susan, thanks. I didn't need to work at cultivating a taste - the health food restaurant I mentioned did a good job of convincing me. They even had a tomato-barley version - tomato rice is a favourite meal here! <BR/>Bee, thanks. I hope to post more barley dishes. We used to have a health foods store here which sold all rare grains but it closed down, so dunno when I'll be able to get my hands on whole barley.<BR/>Sandeepa, yes, I love to eat new stuff though I'm not sure I innovate much - the blog inspires me nowadays. thanks!srahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03243944393796831559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-21306419138737175762007-05-31T21:28:00.000+05:302007-05-31T21:28:00.000+05:30You sure are into innovations, arenm't you ?

It's used a lot in soups and stews, particularly good in a rich meat broth (Scotch Broth). You can also get it flaked or steel-cut (little bits), like oatmeal. These are less processed and more nutritious. <BR/><BR/>Your recipe is an nice, inventive take on a grain that's not nearly as popular as wheat or corn. It's something of an acquired taste.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970742141705361136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30980268.post-66808978162231033742007-05-31T18:23:00.000+05:302007-05-31T18:23:00.000+05:30hey barley pulav looks pretty good with all that a...hey barley pulav looks pretty good with all that almonds & raisins! never tried barley, though have heard of it's nutrition content & all :)Richahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386161012677274105noreply@blogger.com
