Step 1: Roasting the Oats
Start by heating a pan on low flame and add **2 cups of instant oats**. You can also use **steel-cut oats** or **rolled oats**. Dry roast the oats for **3-4 minutes** on low flame until they turn slightly crispy and their flavor intensifies. Make sure they don’t become dark. Once done, transfer them to a plate or bowl and set aside.
Step 2: Preparing the Vegetables
In the same pan, add **1 teaspoon of oil**. We don’t need much oil. Heat the oil on **medium flame**. Once heated, add **1 teaspoon of cumin seeds** and let them sizzle. Then add **1-2 finely chopped green chilies** and **1 medium-sized finely chopped onion**. Sauté the onions on medium flame, stirring occasionally, until they soften (about **2-3 minutes**).
Step 3: Adding the Vegetables
Now, add the finely chopped vegetables:
1/2 cup of finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup of chopped French beans
*1/2 cup of frozen peas
1 large chopped tomato
You can add any other vegetables of your choice as well. Add **1 teaspoon salt** (adjust to taste) and mix well. Cook on **medium flame** for **2-3 minutes** until the tomatoes soften and release their juices. Then, cover the pan and let it cook for **4-5 minutes** to ensure the vegetables are well-cooked but not too soft.
Step 4: Adding Spices
After 4-5 minutes, remove the cover and stir the vegetables. Now, add the following spices:
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper powder
1 teaspoon Maggi masala (or pav bhaji masala, optional)
Mix all the spices well and cook for **1-2 minutes** on low flame until the spices are well-blended with the vegetables.
Step 5: Adding Water
Now, add **6 cups of water** to the pan (you can increase or decrease the water quantity based on your preference). Mix well and bring it to a **boil** on **high flame**. Once the water starts boiling, add the **roasted oats** to the pan. Stir well to combine. Let the oats cook on **medium-high flame** until it comes to a boil again.
Step 6: Simmering the Oats
Once the oats come to a boil, reduce the flame to **low** and cover the pan. Let it cook for another **4-5 minutes** until the oats absorb the water and become tender. Stir occasionally and check the consistency. If you feel it’s too runny, let it cook a bit longer.
Step 7: Final Touches
Once the oats have absorbed the water and have reached a thick consistency, add a **handful of finely chopped fresh coriander**. Mix it in well. Finally, add **1 tablespoon of lemon juice** to enhance the flavor and give it a zesty kick. Stir it well, and your dish is ready!
Step 8: Serving
Now, turn off the heat and serve your **healthy and flavorful Vegetable Masala Oats** hot! This dish is not only delicious but also super nutritious and great for **weight loss**. It’s light yet filling, making it perfect for breakfast or dinner.
