How to make:

1. Prep the oats:

   • Take rolled oats in a bowl, sprinkle water lightly, and keep aside for 5 minutes to soften (don’t over-soak).

2. Temper the spices:

   • Heat oil/ghee in a pan.

   • Add onion, and green chilli—sauté until onion turns translucent.

   • Add the finely chopped vegetables of your choice

3. Add flavours:

   • Add turmeric powder and salt. Stir.

4. Add oats:

   • Gently add the softened oats to the pan, mix well so the masala coats evenly. At the this point, simmer the gas to medium

5. Finish:

Wellness Tip:

• For Vata types, use ghee instead of oil, skip chilli, and add a pinch of hing (asafoetida) for better digestion.

• For Pitta, use coconut oil and go light on chilli.

• For Kapha, add ginger and black pepper for warmth.

Hope you try and like it :)
