Masala oats is a savoury Indian-style porridge made using rolled oats, vegetables, and common spices. It’s a warm, filling breakfast that’s easy to prepare and keeps you full for longer.
½ cup rolled oats 1 tsp oil ½ tsp mustard seeds 1 onion (finely chopped) ¼ cup grated carrot ¼ cup peas or sweet corn ½ tomato (chopped) ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp red chilli powder ½ tsp garam masala Salt to taste 1½ cups water Coriander for garnish
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. Once they splutter, add chopped onion and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
Add grated carrot, peas or corn, and tomato. Cook on medium heat until the vegetables begin to soften.
Stir in rolled oats along with turmeric, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Pour water into the pan and simmer the mixture on low heat for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once thick and cooked through, turn off the heat, garnish with chopped coriander, and serve hot.
