I have ground Pearl barley in a heavy duty blender and used it. Hulled barley is said to have a better nutrition profile. But they take a little longer to cook. I was not sure if they would alter the texture of these cookies. Maybe the next time, I will try this recipe with hulled barley.
Adding turmeric to these cookies further increases the nutrient quotient. Turmeric may be the most effective nutritional supplement in existence. Turmeric is a staple spice in every Indian kitchen and adding a few spoonfuls of ground turmeric lends a vibrant golden color to these cookies.
