      Should we soak the barley for 3 hours?

      It was amazing!!! I had a lot of barley and did not know what to do with it. Have been drinking barley soaked water which cleanses the kidneys. Was wondering what to do with the barley. When I saw this recipe, I used it to use up all the soaked barley which I had kept in the fridge. It tasted amazing and I din have to waste the soaked barley too. Thank you!!!.

      It’s probably not authentic to add garlic but I did 🙂 I didn’t have Hing. This made a nice thick soup unlike some kitchary recipes that come out more like pilaf. Next time I will increase the spices.
