Barley Puttu (Steamed Barley Cake)

Barley is one of the super grains used for cooking. We can make a lot of dishes using barley like salad, soup, etc. In India we usually make barley water, one of my favorite drinks. The health benefits of barley are a lot. Puttu is the most common breakfast in our hometown, which is mostly made using rice flour, but it can be made using other flours like wheat, ragi, etc. This time I tried making puttu using barley flour, which came out very well, so I thought of sharing this recipe. It is so simple to make.
