ABOUT Barley Vadai RECIPE

Although barley may not be as popular as other whole grains like oats, wheat, or even grain-of-the-moment quinoa, barley has some impressive health benefits. A very high fiber content, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, heart health and diabetes protection are just some of the barley nutrition benefits that make it one of the best whole grain choices. With this high fiber barley I have prepared some vadas to make this navaratri festival season healthy. Try this out and give your feed back.
