Recipe

This Oats Upma recipe is very easier to make, which does not consume much of your busy morning timings. Researchers ask to go for fiber-rich food for the breakfast, which keeps you active throughout the day.

This is one such recipe which gives enough fiber and energy for the remaining day.

Oats Upma-a breakfast recipe under 10 minutes

Oats Upma can be made in any type of oats whether it is quick, ready-made oats or old fashioned rolled out oats. If you are planning to make upma from quicker oats, then reduce the amount of water from the ingredients list.

Today I went with rolled oats, as I felt it gives out great texture for every bite. Keeping it in the low flame, and stirring occasionally give out the best result for the texture and the taste.

      This is Selkiema again- I still absolutely LOVE this dish, and prepare it several times a month. (I am in fact eating some as I write this!)

      I have made a couple of small changes which you and others might like to hear about. I, as a long-time low-fat, low-salt vegan cook, use the dry saute method on the mustard seeds for a couple of minutes on medium heat in my stainless steel wok. I then add a minced half onion, a small minced raw hot pepper (of whatever variety I have on hand), grated ginger root, and 1/2 tsp salt PLUS a few tablespoons of hot water, stirring constantly and adding more tablespoons of water as needed to water-saute the onion to light golden colour.

      So, here's another small change: I always have on hand some unsalted steel-cut oats which I've cooked ahead of time in my Instant Pot. I always have precooked lentils or chickpeas, and (almost) always have some lightly pre-steamed vegetables such as zucchini squash on hand as well. I add a cup or two of the precooked steel-cut oats, a half cup or so of whatever precooked legumes I have on hand, stirring until warmed up. I then throw in veggies if I have them, and the remainder of the seasonings called for above, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

      Garnish with generous cilantro and perhaps a bit more hot pepper, serve with a bit of chutney, and it's a very quick, low-fat version of your delicious recipe!! Love it!!!
