Ingredients
Oats
- 1 cup Thick-Cut Oats
Produce
Spices & Flavorings
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1/8 tsp Asafoetida
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/2 Lemon Juice from 1/2 lemon
Other
- 2 tbsp Oil
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the oats with enough water to just moisten them. Do not over-saturate. Set aside for 15 minutes to soften.
- Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the asafoetida, mustard seeds, and cumin seeds. Once the seeds begin to pop, add the curry leaves, green chilies, and chopped onions.
- Sauté the onions until translucent. Then, add the grated carrot, peas, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add the softened oats to the pan and stir gently to combine. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, allowing the oats to heat through and absorb the flavors.
- Stir in the sugar and lemon juice. This adds a touch of sweetness and tanginess that balances the savory flavors.
- Remove from heat and garnish with fresh coriander. Serve the Vegetable Oats Poha hot or warm and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- If using quick-cooking oats, sprinkle them lightly with water to moisten. They tend to become mushy easily.
- If using thicker oats, soak them for a few minutes before cooking.
- Add vegetables like cabbage, beans, or corn for extra nutrition.
Expert Tips
- For a creamier texture, blend a portion of the cooked oats before adding them back to the pot.
- Toast the oats in a dry pan before cooking for a nutty flavor.
- Adjust the amount of liquid to achieve your desired consistency.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover oatmeal in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of milk or water if needed.
