Ingredients:
- Rolled oats
- Roasted peanuts
- Onions
- Carrots
- Frozen peas
- Tomatoes
- Curry leaves
- Mustard seeds
- Coriander powder
- Red chili powder
- Turmeric powder
- Oil
- Salt
Method:
In a strainer, lightly sprinkle water over 1.5 cups of rolled oats until they soften. Be quick to avoid making the oats soggy. Fluff the oats with a fork so they are soft but not mushy, then set them aside. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and 5-7 curry leaves, and let them sputter. Add ¼ cup of chopped carrots and ¼ cup of frozen peas, sautéing until tender. Mix in ¼ cup of finely chopped onions and tomatoes, cooking for another minute. Add 1 teaspoon of coriander powder, ½ teaspoon of red chili powder, and ½ teaspoon of turmeric powder. Finally, add the softened oats, ensuring they are well-coated with the masala. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, then serve and enjoy.
