To make the Broken Barley Upma Recipe, heat the oil in a pressure cooker or a pan on medium heat, add the mustard seeds and allow it to crackle. Once it crackles add in the split urad dal and peanuts. Saute for a few minutes until the dal gets roasted. 

Once roasted add chopped onions, ginger, green chilies, curry leaves and saute till onion turns translucent.

Add carrots, beans, peas and let it all cook for a minute or two stirring in between.

Now add barley grits mix well and saute for few minutes. Keep stirring else barley may stick to the cookers /pan's bottom.

Pour in the 1 cup of water. Stir in the salt and tomatoes and give the mixture a good stir.

Cover the pressure cook for 2 whistles. Turn off the flame and allow the pressure to release naturally. 

Once the pressure has released, open the cooker, add the  lemon juice and coriander leaves. Mix well and serve hot.

Serve this upma along with Coconut Chutney for breakfast to make a complete and wholesome meal.
