Take barley in a blender and blend it to a coarse powder. Take one cup water, add chopped sliced onion and salt and let the water come to boil.
Add one cup buttermilk to coarse barley powder made in first step. Add this buttermilk / barley mix to the above boiling water and mix well.
Keep stirring till it starts boiling (about 4-5 minutes.) or else the mix will start to curdle. Boil for another 5-6 minutes.
The mixture will become slightly thicker. Turn off the heat and let it sit overnight (no need to put it in fridge).
Just let it be there on the counter. It will become even thicker kind of like thick rice pudding. Add yogurt to this ghat in the morning and mix well.
Sprinkle roasted cumin powder and red chili powder in individual serving cups or glasses.
If you want to drink it, you may want to make it little thinner than if you are eating it in a cup.
Serve it as a side dish with roti or rice.
