Barley Curd Khichadi

I watched a TV program in which Sabudana Khichadi was made differently.I followed the same steps with Barley and it came out well.But the only thing is I used sour curd instaed of tamarind water (as shown in the TV)

Method

• Add powdered green chilly and roasted gram.Saute till the raw smell goes
• Now pour in the soaked barley and cook it in a low flame.Close it with lid to prevent splattering
