Ingredients
1tbspOlive oil
1tspcumin seeds
1inchgingerchopped
½cuponionfinely chopped
1cupmixed vegetables(I’ve used potato, bottle guard, and red bell pepper)
Add cumin seeds. When the seeds start to sputter, add ginger and onions.
Sauté for a minute and then add the mixed vegetables. For best cooking, add the tougher hard vegetables like potatoes, carrots, beans, cauliflower, and broccoli first and add the softer vegetables like bottle guard, zucchini, and pepper after 2-3 minutes.
Add tomato and all the spices. Mix well.
Add oats and 3 cups of water. Mix well and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook covered, with occasional stirring, until the oats are cooked and most of the water is absorbed.
Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Mix well and serve in bowls garnished with fresh coriander.
Notes
When making for dinner, you can also add a tempering of curry leaves and dried chilies on top.
While masala oats taste wonderful just like that, you can also serve some papad, pickles, raita, and/ or chutney with it.
