Barley Namak Pare
Namak pare is a famous Indian snack prepared during the festivals, i prepared my savoury bites with homemade barley flour,wheat flour,all purpose flour with ajwain seeds as spicy version. Namak pare, these savoury bites are quite popular in North India eventhough we south Indians prepare them both savoury and sweet version.These savoury bites gets ready in jiffy and they were absolutely addictive, my version of namak pare turned out extremely crispy and we couldnt stop munching.
An excellent evening snack, barley flour in this namak pare didnt changed the texture or taste of this crisps.Honestly until you wont say that these savoury bites are prepared with barley and whole wheat flour,none will notice it.You can cut them as diamond cut or as squares but i simply went for rectangular shaped biscuits as my lil one wanted as though. Make this quick savoury bites anytime and they will stay pect more than a week if they are conserved in air tight containers.Sending to my own event CWS-Barley guest hosted by Roshni.
1/2cup Wheat flour
1cup Barley flour
1+1/4cups All purpose flour
1tbsp Ajwain seeds
1/8tsp Baking soda
1tsp Red chilly powder
Oil for frying
Salt
Take together the wheat flour,barley flour,all purpose flour with ajwain seeds,baking soda and red chilly powder in a bowl.

With a knife,cut them as thin strips and then as rectangule strips.
Drop them in hot oil and fry until they turns brown and crispy.

Barley Kheer
If you never tried making kheer with barley, you are missing something super delicious and definitely a healthy kheer. I tried making this kheer during this weekend as my daughter asked me to make some kheer,yep she just love this milk based sweet. Since i used pressure cooker for making this barley kheer, this sweet dish gets ready in very less time than the usual stove topped ones.
This delicious,rich looking kheer with few saffron strands and sweetened condensed milk tastes simply awesome and everyone enjoyed thoroughly this kheer. As i choosed pressure cooked recipes for this weeks blogging marathon,this kheer suits absolutely prefect for my theme. Check out the marathoners running this 22nd edition of blogging marathon here.Sending to my own event CWS-Barley guest hosted by Roshni and to my another event Healthy Diet-Fast & Quick Healthy Dish guest hosted by Kalpana and to 60days of Christmas hosted by Priya and Divya.
3tbsp Pearl barley (washed)
1cup Milk
1/4cup Sweetened condensed milk
1tsp Cardamom powder
Few saffron strands
Chopped nuts
Pressure cook the pearl barley with a cup of water for 5-6whistles.
Once the steam gets released, add the milk,sweetened condensed milk,saffron strands and cook everything in simmer for few minutes or until the kheer turns bit thick.
Finally add the cardamom powder,give a stir and put off the stove.
Serve warm with chopped nuts.
