I liked the capsicum, it added a good taste to the khichdi.
Note:
* Just 100gms of Barley is enough, if you are cooking for two.
* You can add your choice of vegetables.
* Barley wont be so soft on cooking, it will be like cooked brown rice, semi-hard in texture.
* Barley is best for pregnant ladies.
