Cook time
Total time
Ingredients (240 ml cup used)
- 1 medium carrot (about ½ cup of cubes) (pureed) (optional)
- 2 tbsp. Barley coarse powder (refer notes how to make)
- 1½ cup water (can increase by another ¼ to ½ cup)
- ½ cup milk
- ⅛ tsp cardamom powder
- 1 ½ tbsps. Coconut Palm sugar / jaggery / karupatti (adjust as per your taste)
- 1 tbsp. ghee
How to make the recipe
- Soak barley powder in water for at least 10 mins.
- Puree carrot with milk and set aside.
- Cook barley thoroughly till all the coarse grains become smooth. It took around 15 mins on a low flame for me. Keep stirring to prevent lumps.
- Once thoroughly cooked, pour the carrot pure. Mix well and cook on a low flame for 2 mins. If you do not wish to use carrot for this just skip and pour milk at this step and continue.
- Add the cardamom powder, palm sugar and mix well.
- Add ghee & Cook it for a min or 2 on a low flame and off the heat
- Serve warm with ghee (I have added nuts since my kids can chew them, if yours cannot do not add them).
