Oats Upma

A unique and adapted version of upma made with rolled oats and vegetable mix. Generally, oats are served with milk or as overnight oatmeal for breakfast. But it is a healthy and tasty oats recipe to start your breakfast full fiber.

Oats recipes are very common in the Indian kitchen and it is mainly served for morning breakfast. but some prefer to have a warm breakfast with a spicy touch to it without any addition of milk or fruit. Oats upma recipe is for those, who prefer to have the benefit of oats without compromising on taste.

Personally, I am a huge fan of oats and try experimenting with unique recipes with oats. Being health-conscious,  Masala Oats, Oats Cheela are often prepared in my kitchen and it also tastes good, yet no compromise on diet chart.

Tips

1 - To make instant upma, you can roast a large amount of oats and store in an airtight container for future use.

2 - Add veggies of your choice, whatever you like to add/eat.

3 - You can make this upma in oil as well, but I like making it in ghee to make it healthier and as upma tastes good when made in ghee.

4 - Adding a pinch of sugar, balances the taste but doesn't leave a sweet taste, but again it's totally optional to add.

5 - You can make this upma only with oats without adding semolina. adding semolina is completely optional.
