Masala Oats... Yum Yumm!!

Ingredients:

1 cup Oats

1 large Onion finely chopped (80 gms.)

1 small Tomato finely chopped (50 gms.)

2 tbsp Olive Oil / Cooking Oil

50 gms Peas

2 1/4 cups Water

Salt to Taste

1/2 tsp Red Chili Powder

1/2 tsp Cumin Coriander Powder

1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder

1 1/2 tsp Badshah Curry Powder

3 tsp Lemon Juice

1/4 cup Coriander freshly chopped

Method:

1. Heat a non stick pan and then add the oats. Toast them lightly over slow heat until you get a light fragrance of the oats. Be careful as to not change the color of the oats or they will give you a burnt flavor. Just 5-7 minutes over low heat and constant stirring should do the trick.
2. Now take them off the heat and keep them in a separate plate.
3. Re heat the same pan and add the oil to it. Now add the peas add stir for about 5 minutes until the peas are tender. 
4. Then add the onion and saute for 5 minutes. Do not brown them. Just let them turn translucent and then add the tomatoes. Saute for another two minutes.
5. Add the previously toasted oats and mix all the ingredients gently.
6. Add water and all the rest of the ingredients except for the coriander and cook for about 7 minutes or until the water has evaporated.
7. Garnish with coriander and serve hot.

Tip:

• Always use a non stick pan while cooking oats or else there would be a lot of cleaning afterwards!
• Use "Bashah's" curry powder as its taste is almost similar to that of Maggi and that is what will make this dish an absolute hit.
• You can sprinkle raw diced onions and lemon juice on top of your dish along with the coriander if you like.
