Celebrating My 150th Post with CWF-WG : BARLEY Event Round-Up

SUMADHURA has reached an other milestone by reaching the 150th post.It's all happened with the encouragement of my family,fellow bloggers and all the unique visitors who browse through SUMADHURA for recipes of their liking and continue to encourage me with their nice words and frequent visits.

I celebrated my 100th post with the initiation of Cooking with Whole Foods Event and am happy to have started it.I chose Barley as the main ingredient for the event.Though barley is not often used by many of us regularly in our house-holds, I just wanted to make this ingredient more familiar to myself and people around me.With this event I got introduced to many unique and creative recipes with Barley.

Being a new blogger and this being my first event ,I am happy that I received a good number(46) of entries for the CWF-WG: Barley Event.I loved the creativity and uniqueness of each and every recipe that I received from bloggers and non-bloggers.For some it is the first time they have tried this grain, and I am very happy they did and they are too.Dear Visitors of SUMADHURA do not be afraid to introduce yourselves to new grains and whole grains.There are a lot of benefits from them.They can help us nourish our body with healthy nutrients.

Today I am celebrating my 150th post with CWF-WG:Barley Event Round-Up.I thank all the participants of this event for making it successful and hope to see your continued support for the Cooking with Whole Foods Events being hosted in future by fellow bloggers and make them successful.I am posting the round-up in the order I received.

Soak - 1 cup barley ,kidney beans,lentil over night and then pessure cook.

Veggies: carrot,celery,onion,tomato,red bell pepper,spinech,zucini,mashrooms....as many as you want or like. cut ordice small so that these can fit in spoon easily.

Put all veggies in a pan together on medium/high heat add organic pasta sauce of your choice ,add cooked barley,beans and lentil to veggies with water bring it to boil together , add salt /pepper according to taste .

18) Recipe Name : RAABDI

Here is one more recipe for breakfast or evening snack time.Its very popular in Rajasthan, its called RAABDI( don't confuse with rabdi :-) ).

Actually this can be made with any Grain(cereal).Mostly in winter with bajara or makka and in summer with barley.It can be made by oats .

Preparation :

----------------

Take one cup of barley and grind it (I mostly use my coffee grinder)coarsely.In a pressure cooker take 2-3 cups of butter milk (chach/mattha) and barley powder pinch of salt.Switch on flame and keep stirring the batter.When it starts boiling put the lid on and let 3 whistles come up.After cooker cools down open the lid and it should be as thick as idli dough consistency.It is ready to be served.

If you like to eat it hot then take milk in a bowl and add Raabdi and lil sugar like milk and cereal.

If you like it cold, then refrigerate it and in a bowl take one scoop of raabdi with some chaach (buttermilk) add salt or sugar according to your taste.

19) Recipe Name : Gujraati Muthiya

How to make Muthia :

recomend to compro with vitamins and don't like to mess up with blood pressure)

• Shape into long thin rolls with your fingers or pour into idli molds.
