I still remember the time about 7 years ago, my "American Granny" started showing off about diet, exercise and oats after her visit to the USA for the first time. The vibe started spreading slowly with people about its benefits and today Oats is in our regular menu. From an Indian kitchen to an English Restaurant we see Oats under the Breakfast banner. I fell for this "Oats mania" as well and I still wonder why I love it. My little one was once crazy about Oats porridge. She has stopped eating now but that shouldn't be credited against oats because she isn't eating anything much these days..!
Oats upma is prepared in many ways. I use a similar method for making my Poha upma or Oats Upma. If you want to serve this for elderly people then I would suggest to cut down Peanuts and Coconut and for babies you can also try Almond-Oats Porridge powder. Oats are generally chewy so I love having them hot after preparation.
Ingredients:
Old Fashioned Oats - 1 cup (Quick oats is also fine)
Onion - 1 small sized
Peanuts/Groundnuts - 10 to 15 no's
Coconut - 2 tablespoon (Grated)
Green chilli - 1 no (small one)
Salt - as needed
To temper:
Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
Mustard seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Red chilli - 1 no (Small one)
Urad dal - 1 teaspoon
Method:
- Take a pan, heat oil and temper the ingredients given under "To temper" column.
- Add Onion, Peanut, Green chilli, Salt and saute until onions are transparent.
- Wash the oats just for a few seconds, drain the water and add that to tawa along with coconut. Stir well and cover it with a lid for 5 minutes on medium flame.(if quick oats is used then do not wash instead add direct and sprinkle needed water to cook)
- Serve hot with a cup of Coffee/Tea.

DeleteI usually have oats with milk for dinner, the days I am exhausted and don't have time to cook. It works to improve my cholesterol level. Upma made with oats is certainly healthy and this will perfect for a lazy breakfast, Sundays when I sleep late. Love the flavors and the crunch from peanuts which is very creative and something unique.

Deletevery nice upma dear..me too do the same, but try with varying flavours..like a bit of sambar masala once, then rasam powder the next time.. so so.. and..feel free to drop by my space too when you get the time. Just jotted some handy tips on "sane motherhood" on my "Picks quicks" blog. Hope you will be a follower there. lets keep connected beyond the kitchen as well....

DeleteOats upmav is great breakfast option..considering the fact that sooji rava upmav has nothing nutritional I should switch my upmavs to oats or wheat rava ones :)

ReplyDeleteThank you arti
Deleteit is rolled oats right? will it work for normal oats?
ReplyDeleteIt does work aparna.....dont wet the oats first instead add oats after onions are cooked and simply sprinkle water...the steam and heat will cook that automatically.
Deletethank you
