Oatmeal Recipes please..

Out of curiosity, I experimented and ended up with this delicious Oats Upma. DH likes it. :thumbsup And this dish frequents my kitchen so often.

• Soak the rolled oats in water for about 3 mins
• While it is soaking, cut your onion, green chilly, ginger
• In a hot pan, add 2 tsp of oil, season it with mustard seeds, chana dhal, urid dhal, cumin seeds, green chillies, curry leaves, ginger, raw peanuts (you can add them as is or coarsely crush them and add) and saute until chana dhal, peanuts are golden brown and crispy. Do not brown them all.
• Now add the onions and saute until they turn translucent
• sprinkle some salt, turmeric powder
• Add the vegetables (I added frozen peas and carrot - they cook very quick) and saute well
• When the veges are done, (you may cobver and cook if they are not frozen), drain the oats really well and add them to the pan. Do not squeeze the oats though. It will get mushy.
• Saute the oats for about 3 mins with frequent stirring. You may sprinlke the drained water now and then, to get the oats cooked. Cover and cook for another minute on really low flame.
• Adjust salt and serve hot as is or with any chutney/chai/tea.
• This is a healthy, tasty, easy breakfast for those 'no-no to oats' eaters.

 

Thanks for the recipe ms.true.But what is rolled oats?Pardon my ignorance if it is a basic question.:hide:

 

There are 2 varieties : Rolled and Bran

Rolled oats are whole and thick

Bran means in powdery form

This is my understanding ..sorry if i am wrong :hide:

 

No need to feel sorry dearie!You are a way better than me in recipes and cooking.Iam just a beginner

 

Dear rajaLakshmi, No worries.
Rolled oats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia has a pic of rolled oats with great description.

Thanks a lot True for the pictorial representation

 

Ms.true that was really colorful...My taste buds are tickling me :crazy

Could you please share the ratio of water and oats you generally follow for this recipe :bowdown

 

Thanks, Rajalakshmi & Cindhuja!

1 measure oats:1 measure water.
Soak the oats first and then prepare the veges, fry the onions, peanuts etc. That time is enough for the needed soaking.
Drain and save the water. Do not squeeze the oats while draining.
Sprinkle this water now and then to prevent dryness and charring. That way you will not lose nutrients that the water may have collected. I wish I could direct you to my kitchen in the blogosphere outside IL. Will do sometime in the future.
