Microwave Baarley Kheer

As a token of love,got this barley from my friend Priya for "Maitri".I prepared a loaf cake with this and also this kheer.As u   know ,barley has a lot of health benefits.It is high in fibre too. But I didnt tell my H about this.I just gave it as a normal kheer,hiding the name barley.He drank it fully and said it was good.Then I told about the ingredient,he was quite puzzled and told,I know some thing fishy was there in this kheer,but it is good.Happa some how managed to make him drink this.



Ingredient:
1.Barley                       -                1/4 cup
2.Milk                          -                 4 cups
3.Sugar                         -                1/4 cup
4.Cardamom pwdr        -                a pinch
5.Cashews                    -                 a teaspoon
6.Raisins                       -                a teaspoon

Method:
* Take barley and soak in water for half an hour.
* Sqeeze out the excess water and brake it down in a blender.Dont grind it.Just pulse it.
* Take a microwave safe bowl,add a cup of water and cook till it is tender or for 10 minutes.
* Now add milk and bring to boil for 3 more minutes.
* Add sugar and cardamom pwdr.
* Take a pan,add ghee and fry the cashews and raisins.
* Pour it on the kheer and njoy.


Note:
The cooking time may vary from one microwave to another ,so  check with ur respective microwave for the cooking time.We can also add a scoop of condensed milk to enhance the taste.
