Oats Pongal is a dietary substitution for the traditional rice pongal. Oats which are rich in fiber are one of the mandatory ingredient in every kitchen as it is very healthy and helps in reducing cholesterol content so instead of consuming traditional rice, we all need to slowly switch to Oats and other healthy ingredients. With Oats we can make many different yummy recipes and Oats pongal is one such variety. The taste is extraordinarily good and I personally feel this is as delicious as our traditional Ven Pongal.

Tips for making Masala Oats:

  • Choice of Oats : There are 2 types of Oats: Rolled Oats and Steel-Cut Oats. Within Rolled Oats, there are 3 types: Old-Fashioned, Quick Oats and Instant Oats. I have used Quick Oats. These oats are cooked, dried, and cut, then rolled thin (thinner than old-fashioned oats) for faster cooking. We can also use Old-Fashioned too for this recipe.
  • Vegetables are optional: We can add mixed veggies or chopped spinach to increase the nutritional value and flavor
  • Adjust Spices according to your taste. Adjust the quantity of peppercorns and pepper powder according to your needs. We can also add 1 or 2 slit Green chili while tempering.
  • Water added to cook the oats needs be adjusted. I have used 2 cups of water to cook oats because the variety of oats used is “Quick” oats. But for Old-Fashioned, you may need 2.5 cups of oats. Also we may need to dry roast the Old-Fashioned oats
  • Serving Choice:  Oats Pongal taste good with Coconut Chutney. But we can also make any chutney of our choice. Even spicy Garlic Kuzhambu is a perfect accompaniment for Oats Pongal
