Hello Amit Dasanna,

It has been long since I commented on your blog. However, not a single new
dish I make unless I visit your blog. Do you know what do we call Rye in any
Indian language.
thank you,

welcome back sandy. hope you are doing good. rye is not native to india.
so it does not have any indian name. we only get imported rye or rye our
and that too in superstores in big indian cities or metros.

Hi Aarthi,
Einkorn was the rst strain of wheat which was cultivated 10,000 years
ago by Neolithic Homo Sapiens. There is a foreign website which sells this
variety, I cant remember the name. The positive thing is that Einkorn
variety is non GMO & non hybridized compared to todays wheat.

Dear Dassana, I am having troubles understanding a our at my local bazaar. It

is called Charri our.
I was hoping you would know what grain it comes from. I thought maybe
Sorghum?
I thought you would be the perfect person to ask.

1. You forgot to mention:

Oat- jai ( pronounced ja-ee)
2. You have mentioned sabudana as both Sago and Tapioca pearls. The two are
not the same but Sago pearls are similar in appearance to tapioca pearls and
the two may be used interchangeably in some dishes.
3. Otherwise you have done a good job, thank you.

okay. will update the oats part. i know sago and tapioca are technically
different. in india, though sabudana is called as sago. its actually the
linguistic term used for sabudana in india. i will mention a small note.
thanks.

Please say about quinoa. What is the name is quinoa in hindi.

dassana (http://www.vegrecipeso ndia.com) says

i dont know. quinoa is not grown in india and hence there is no hindi term
for it. it is basically grown in chile and not in india.

In Punjabi, Oats are called Jawie or javie. Not commonly eaten as a

cereal, but the oat plant is generally fed to animals in Punjab.

hi surjeet, jau atta or barley our can be used to make rotis. you can even
mix atta, besan and jau atta and make missi rotis. theplas can be made
with jowar, bajra and jau atta. its also used to make sattu a our made
from roasted kala chana and other cereals. sattu is very popular in bihar.
in fact the organic multi grain our which i use, has jau in it. you can also
add some of it to pancakes or dosa or idli.

hi rewa. i do not know the proportion of grains used for making multi grain
our. i would just go by andaz and make the our. i also dont know
anything about the blood groups and its correlation with the grains.
neither i can help you in grains for reducing weight and their proportion. i
think these questions require an expert advice from a nutritionist or a
physician. they will be able to guide you better.

Barley and Oats are different cereals. Oats are grown in India, especially
in the North but are mainly fed to the cattle. Not all info one nds on
search results are correct. Even I have read oats called as jau on some
sites.

I know for sure that Jau/Jav is the Hindi name for barley. I have seen
barley grains in mumbai in the grocery stores.
I do not know what javas is.
I do not currently have any pictures of barley. You can see the pictures of
barley on the following links:
