Oats Khichdi is a flavoursome, nutrition packed dish ideal to serve for breakfast, brunch or dinner.Â
One cannot deny the need of a good breakfast, it should be healthy, filling and tasty. Every morning it is a dilemma, what needs to be prepared, isn’t it? You can use oats a couple of times in a week to prepare variety of dishes.
I used the Zerobeli Oats to make porridge and it was awesome. It is rich in fiber and protein, gluten free and ISO certified. Moreover, it cooks very easily and is creamy. It needs no topping such as nuts.
I use oats to make a variety of dishes, it is versatile in use and the taste is liked at home, thus I can easily make it anytime of the day.
I often make different varieties of khichdi at home and now thought of making it with oats. I used vegetables in it along with some masala powder, the result it was a filling and tasty meal.
Have you tried making khichdi with oats? Khichdi is quite similar to the savoury pongal that is made in South India. Give a try to it, a few papad and pickle makes a good accompaniment with it.Â
The New Year, New Beginnings and Goals
Today is the first day of 2020 and I want to make it an awesome one. I do not make big resolutions but something, which I can relate and stick to. I plan to eat healthy food in the coming days and thus oats will be my companion along with salads and fruits.
oats khichdi
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup moong dal
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup mixed vegetables ( I used beans, carrot, peas )
- 1 onion
- 4-5Â cup water
- 1 tablespoon oil and ghee
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 inch ginger
- 1 green chilly
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1/4 teaspoon asafoetida
- 1/2 teaspoon chilly powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper powder
Method:
- Wash and soak the moong dal for at least one hour, this helps in proper cooking of the lentil.
- Chop the onion.
- Take oil and ghee in a pressure pan, add cumin. As it splutters, put grated ginger and green chilly along with some asafoetida. Add onion and saute it for sometime, put the vegetables into it. Saute for two minutes. Put turmeric powder and chilli powder to it.
- Now add moong dal to it and saute for a minute.
- Add oats and mix well for a minute.Â
- Put water and salt to it and stir thoroughly.
- Close the lid and cook it until two whistles.
- Once the pressure releases, mix it and serve hot.
Take a tip:
- Soaking of lentil helps in cooking the lentil properly.
- Soaking for longer time too is not recommended, it becomes slimy.Â
