    Oats Pongal Recipe

    I always prefer oats to have for breakfast and dinner. Yes a little diet conscious. I don’t prefer oats porridge daily because I will get bored easily and leave the diet. So what I do is, I cook lots of healthy dishes with oats and have it. So my oats diet will last longer.

    About Oats Kara Pongal Recipe

    This is an awesome dish which is made with a mixture of dal and oats which it makes it even more healthier. You can have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner, any way it is good. I served it with Tomato Chutney and it tasted so good.

    How to Make Oats Kara Pongal Recipe

    1. Heat 1 tsp of ghee and roast oats till nice aroma comes. Remove it to a plate..
    2. Heat 1 tsp of ghee and roast moong dal till nice aroma comes. Pour 5  cups of water and bring it to a boil. Cover and simmer for 15 mins until the dal is cooked.
    3. Add salt to the dal and slowly add in oats and mix well..Cook on a slow heat covered till the water is completely absorbed.
    4. Remove this to a bowl and make the seasoning.
    5. Heat remaining ghee in the kadai and add mustard, channa dal, urad dal, cashews, raisins, pepper, cumin and mix well.
    6. Now add in ginger, green chilli and onions and sauté this for few minutes.
    7. Now add in the cooked dal and oats and mix well. Let it get heated all the way through.
    8. Serve with any chutney.

      I've never cooked oats with dal before. At first I only wanted to make a half-portion - one cup of oats, half a cup of dal - because I wasn't sure if everyone would like this combination. But then I thought "Hey, it's a Yummy Tummy recipe - of course everyone will like it!". And so I added more ingredients and made the full portion. And, yes, we did love it.

      Wow this looks yummy ! I always have oats porridge for breakfast as part of my diet and its so boring! Oats pongal looks yum!

      Aarthi can i request you to post more of healthy and less calories recipes for ppl like me who are trying to lose weight? Varieties while dieting will make us stick to the diet 🙂 And instead of ghee here can we add oil? or will it spoil the taste?
