I always prefer oats to have for breakfast and dinner..Yes a little Diet consicious..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..
This is a 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..

Hi Aarthi, you are v creative, admire your recipes, you inspire me to cook. One day will try each and every recipe you have posted. I am new to the blogging world and stumbled upon your blog. Great work and keep it going. God bless, today i am trying your eggless and butterless chocolate cake. Go through my blog when you find time.

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?
Aarthi
@Anonymousyes u can add oil too
Rajalakshmi Velayutham
I tried this recipe for dinner. I came out delicious. I am someone who ll starve but not have oats but i loved this dish. Now it is added to my fav food. Thanks aarthi for detailed instructions and pictures.
