Which kind of oats to use for everyday rice substitute?

I take oats as substitute to rice..but when cooking it becomes like gravy..
One of my friends steams the oats till they become soft but not like porridge..you can also try steaming if you that time and patience..

 

Since you are in the us, check out steel cut oats than the instant oats. but yes the instant oats become soft, but if you are a little careful you can cook it to your choice.
I do make lemon, puliyodharai and also pulao with oats. the pulao recipe in the blog.

i also cook the oats in rasam, soups+vegetables directly. that way i do not mind the creaminess. you can make curd oats with all the tadkas that you give for regular curd rice.

it is again a case of your palette. and i do not have oats everyday. i mix, match lots of millets in place of rice..and i am sure you have seen this thread where we share ideas.
