This is my most favourite recipe for preparing oatmeal. Although it takes a little longer than plain oatmeal it is spicy, aromatic, delicious and well worth the effort. This takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. Here is the recipe...
Ingredients:
Oats - 1 1/2 cups (you can dry roast the oats lightly for a minute on a hot skillet for a fluffier texture)
Carrots - 1 large or medium
Green beans - 9 or 10 chopped into small pieces
Green peas - a handful
Onion - 1 finely sliced
Green chillies - 3
Ginger - 1 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 3/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 1/2 tbsp
Cilantro (coriander leaves) - 1 1/2 tbsp
For the seasoning:
Mustard seeds - 1 1/2 tsp
Cloves - 3
Cinnamon stick - 1 1/2 inch
Cardamom - 2
Bayleaf - 2
Cashew nuts - 10 broken into halves or small pieces
Curryleaves - 2 sprigs chopped into small strips.
Method:
Heat oil in a wok or a pot. Add mustard seeds, cloves, cinnamon stick, Cardamom, bayleaves, cashews and curryleaves.
After the cashews turn slightly brown, add veggies (carrots, onions, beans, green chillies, ginger and peas). Stir-fry for a minute. Add 2 1/4 cups of boiling water. Once the veggies become a little soft add oats and salt.
Cover and cook on medium heat until all the water has evaporated (for about 4 minutes). Turn off heat and let it sit covered for about 15 minutes. Add turmeric powder and mix well. Now the oatmeal is ready to serve.
