Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup – quick cooking oats
• 1/4 cup – vegetables (I used Carrot and peas)
• 1 – small-sized Onion (finely chopped)
• a generous pinch of Turmeric powder
• 1/2 tsp – Red Chilli powder
• 3/4 tsp – Garam Masala powder
• 1 tsp – Coriander leaves
• 1/4 tsp – pepper powder
• 1 cup – water (adjust accordingly)
• salt as required

Method:

1. Dry-roast the chopped onion in a non-stick pan until it shrinks.
2. Add the oats and roast until you get an aroma.
3. In the meantime, pressure-cook the vegetables separately until soft and slightly mushy (2 whistles).
4. Add the cooked vegetables, water, red chilli, turmeric, garam masala powder and salt to the oats.
5. Cook on medium flame for 3 minutes until the oats become soft. Add more water if required.
6. Boil for a while, then use a ladle/masher to mash the ingredients well (depends on how you want the vegetables to be).
7. Cook for 2 more minutes until the preparation gets a porridge-like consistency.
8. Add chopped coriander leaves and pepper powder and switch off the flame.
9. Garnish with raw onions.
10. Serve hot.
