I used the masala variety for this that comes nowadays.. Make the oats the normal way. Parallely I also scramble some eggs (not the Indian bhurji style) with sea salt and a pinch of pepper and which I make it dry by keeping it longer on the stove and stirring continuously.Meanwhile when the oats is getting cooked I add my own secret masalas apart from the ones that comes in the oats along with a sprinkle of parmesan. Add the scrambled eggs to the oats, thicken it slightly and top it with some dill and coriander. Simple no??
Regular oats can be powdered and used to thicken soup instead of corn flour and it does a much better job without any change in taste. In the south its also added to the idli and dosa batter or made into a batter itself for making all this. Even common place dishes like upma. Now that’s sowing the oats everywhere 😉

This time I went to India, I saw oats everywhere– these masala varities, too. I’m wondering tho whether all these additions help retain the healthful qualities of oats?
Good stuff – going wild on oats 😀
Ohh I didn’t know that we could do so much with oats…

Smile, it makes (y)our day!
I like oats the traditional way…
Can’t eat oats, your recipe looks good though.
I prefer the straight forward variety – easier to work on the masalas. But mostly we eat it as a breakfast cereal, make pancakes or add it to soups and stews! You know when you grind it – you lose fiber.
Super interesting! Good luck with the rest of the A-Z 🙂
These are some creative recipes. Thank you 🙂

I love oats. They have been my go-to breakfast option for the last few years. I do get bored occasionally though and have the masala type ones 🙂
Looks great–a new way to eat favorite foods–I love eggs and oats but have never put the two together! Gail
Oats is very versatile. I didn’t know it could thicken soup, and I’ll keep that in mind. Interesting post on the letter O. AtoZer http://www.writer-way.blogspot.com
