Barley Sattu Drink

-

 


How often do you find yourself with indigestion after a meal? Or even worse, knowing that you have eaten way too much or too rich and excessively heavy foods? Reaching for the antacid is hardly the answer, with antacids there is yet another burden on your body's whole digestive system.  Refined, Processed and Manufactured foods are acid forming in the body - that is when digested they form acidic residues in the blood stream. 

Eating predominantly alkaline food is far easier on the whole digestive system since it matches the ph of the blood which runs between 7.35 and 7.45. Within a few weeks of eating alkaline foods you will look and feel lighter, your energy levels will have soared, your concentration and memory sharpened, and the quality of your sleep will have improved dramatically. 

Eating alkaline means consuming fresh foods as close to nature as possible- Sattvik food - organic whole foods, predominantly vegetarian, with small amounts of legumes and whole grains to supplement an abundance of fruit and vegetables.

Barley is one of the best  alkaline grains that we can add to our diets and is so good for our system. This barley sattu is so easy to make and has amazing health benefits when consumed on empty stomach. Rich in iron and fibre it improves bowel movement. Flushes out toxins, aids in weightlOss, increases energy level and excellent for people with diabetes and high BP. 

Barley usually takes a lot of time to cook and this barley sattu is one of the easiest way we can add this super grain to our diets.

Being away from India I have struggled to get the perfect idli batter recipe for years. The first time I tried to make the batter was a hilarious episode that I can never forget. It was a cold month of Feb and I was craving for super soft idlis.  Called Amma and got the recipe from her 4:1 Parboiled rice and Urad. I got Uncle Bens parboiled rice and Urad dal ....and made the batter...waited waited waited for it to ferment for 3 days !!!! it did not ferment but still went ahead and made the idlis...and the idlis turned out to be like soap 😂. Years and Years of experiments later some hits and many misses ....finally this super easy idli batter recipe is always a winner. Ok so lets start with the rice I use the Laxmi Organic Idli rice and organic white whole urad. Another trick I learnt this year when I visited my Aunt in Kerala was not to soak the Urad overnight. Urad needs to be soaked only for couple of hours. Some tips to be followed are washing of the rice. I wash it at least 5-...
