Barley and Corn Salad

Here's an easy way to have a healthy accompaniment to your main course. Barley has been used to enhance the fibre content and sweet corn gives a crispy texture to the salad. The red and yellow capsicum and spring onions add colour to the dish and make it extremely appealing to the eye.

Preparation time: 5 minutes. Cooking time: 10 minutes. Serves 4.

¼ cup barley (jau), washed and drained
5 tbsp sweet corn kernels (makai ke dane)
½ cup chopped red and yellow capsicum
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)
¾ cup finely chopped spring onions (whites and greens)
½ tsp sugar (optional)
1 tsp roasted cumin seeds (jeera) powder
2 tsp lemon juice
Salt to taste

1. Combine the barley and sweet corn with 1 cup of water in a pressure cooker and pressure cook for 2 whistles.
2. Allow the steam to escape before opening the lid. Drain and keep aside to cool slightly.
3. Combine all the other ingredients including cooked barley- sweet corn in a bowl and toss well.
4. Refrigerate it for at least 1 hour and serve chilled.

Handy tip: The discarded barley water can be used for vegetable gravies and dals.
