Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons quick cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup thick curds/plain yogurt
  • salt to taste

To season:

  • a fat pinch of mustard seeds
  • a fat pinch of cumin seeds
  • 1/2 broken dry red chilli
  • a small pinch of asafoetida hing
  • 3-4 curry leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ghee or oil

Instructions

  • Bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan and then add the oats to it. Stir continuously to prevent lumps from forming. When cooked the oats would have absorbed all the water.
  • Reduce heat and add the yogurt and whisk continuously. Add salt to taste, mix and remove from heat. Transfer into a serving bowl.
  • Heat ghee or oil in a small pan for seasoning. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter. Next, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds before adding the curry leaves. Toss in the broken chilli and reduce the heat. Add the asafoetida as well and quickly remove the pan from heat.
  • Pour this seasoning into the bowl of oats and serve immediately
