Ingredients
Oat Balls
- 3/4 cup Oats
- 1 Tbsp Saffola Oil
- 1/2 tsp Ginger-Garlic Paste
- 2 Tbsp Bell Peppers finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp Onion finely chopped
- 2 Tbsp Carrot finely chopped
- 1/2 Chili finely chopped, green
- 2 Tbsp Cottage Cheese finely chopped
- 1/2 tsp Lemon Juice
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Chili Powder
- Water as needed
- 1 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour for slurry
- 1/2 cup Noodles cooked
Vegetable Broth
- 2 cup Vegetable Stock
- 1/2 medium Onion sliced
- 1/2 Bell Peppers sliced
- 20 gm Cottage Cheese sliced
- 1 cup Noodles cooked
- 1 1/2 tsp Salt or to taste
- Pepper black
Instructions
- In a pan, heat the Saffola oil. Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until fragrant. This releases their aromatic flavors. Add the finely chopped bell pepper, onion, carrot, and green chili. Sauté until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Add the oats and roast for a few minutes until lightly toasted. Toasting the oats adds a nutty depth of flavor. Gradually add water, stirring constantly, until a thick mixture forms. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Once cooled, shape the oat mixture into small balls. Prepare a slurry with refined flour and water. Dip each oat ball into the slurry and then wrap cooked noodles around it. The slurry helps the noodles adhere to the oat balls.
- Heat a little oil in an appam pan or a regular skillet. Cook the oat balls until golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- In a separate pot, heat a little oil. Add the sliced onion and sauté until translucent. Add the sliced bell pepper and paneer. Sauté for a few minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable stock. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring the broth to a simmer. Add the cooked noodles and let them heat through in the broth.
- Place the crispy oat noodle balls in a serving bowl. Pour the hot vegetable broth and noodle mixture over the oat balls. Serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For a creamier texture, blend half of the cooked soup and mix it back in before serving—this enhances body without adding cream or thickeners.
- Stir in a splash of lime juice or a teaspoon of tamarind paste toward the end of cooking to amplify the tangy undertones and balance the soup’s richness.
- If you prefer a gluten-free version, use gluten-free noodles or replace them entirely with spiralized zucchini or carrot strips for extra nutrition.
- Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds, or a drizzle of chili oil for added flavor and an appealing presentation.
- If you wish, you can steam these balls in a dim sum basket.
Expert Tips
- For a richer broth, consider using homemade stock instead of store-bought.
- Adjust the spice level by adding more or less chili garlic sauce to your taste.
- Don't overcook the noodles or vegetable substitutes; they should be tender but still have a slight bite.
Storage Instructions
- Allow the soup to cool completely before storing.
- Store leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Separate the noodles or vegetable substitutes from the broth before storing to prevent them from becoming soggy. Reheat them separately and combine just before serving.
