Freekeh (pronounced free-kah) is a grain food made from young green wheat that is roasted. Freekeh is prepared by harvesting wheat while the grains are green and the seeds are still soft. The wheat is sun-dried and roasted using a special technique. The wheat is then rubbed, and sometimes cracked. Hara Freekeh Tahiri is a fresh, healthy one-pot meal. Hara means green in Hindi. In this recipe, the green comes from the spinach, peas, and cilantro. This recipe from Indian Cuisine Diabetes Cookbook , by May Abraham Fridel.
