Nice and healthy risotto..Barley takes a long time to cook. I make porridge with it but never tried risotto.

Yes, Shobha. Thanks to you I realised that I have not said I used cooked barley. I have updated the recipe now.

I'm a big fan of risotto though have not made it at home as yet. Using pearl barley for risotto and then adding Indian masala, a twist upon a twist. Great recipe. Now contemplating whether to make the risotto with the little pearl barley I have or to make this risotto.

Thanks, Mayuri. You can try some time later when you go back home.
