Vegetable Masala Oats Porridge, a very healthy and a complete breakfast for a wonderful morning. Oats porridge or Oatmeal is the most common recipe with oats. Oatmeal is usually cooked with hot milk topped with chopped fresh fruits or dry fruits and nuts along with honey or sugar. This is the typical morning breakfast in many homes. My kids love this Oatmeal very much. But our tastebuds are tuned for hot and spicy masalas :-). So instead of consume with milk, we can make the oatmeal spiced up with our Indian masalas'. This vegetable Masala Oats is so appetizing and inviting with colorful veggies and spices! Adding vegetables and spices makes the simple oats porridge rich in taste and flavor. Even nutritionist also suggest us to take different form of oats instead of simple oats porridge with milk or yogurt.
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: Adding veggies to masala oats is completely optional, but it will surely increase the taste and nutritional value of this recipe. I have used carrot, peas and capsicum. We can also add potato and cauliflower. We can also try making with spinach, methi leaves instead of veggies
- Adjust Spices according to your taste. We are tempering green chili and also using red chili powder. So feel free to adjust spice level. We can exclude tomato and add a pinch of Amchur powder
- 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:Â Masala Oats is fully spiced and needs nothing as an accompaniment. If we like, we can serve with curd or any Raita along with Masala Oats.
