Masala oats | How to make oats masala

By swasthi , on July 20, 2019, 25 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Masala oats recipe – We love the non-sticky and non-mushy version of the oats upma that is made with rolled oats. This masala oats is a recent addition to our quick fix dinner menu. It can be served alone without any accompaniment but is best with papad, chutney, podi or raita. This masala oats turns non mushy if made with rolled oats, if made with quick cook oats it turns mushy and can also be made to a porridge consistency.

Notes

Please note that the quantity of water to use may differ depending on the kind of oats used or the quantity of water they absorb.
To make it to a porridge consistency, you may need to triple the quantity of water mentioned in the recipe card. That works perfectly well for me.

Alternative quantities provided in the recipe card are for 1x only, original recipe.

For best results follow my detailed step-by-step photo instructions and tips above the recipe card.

    Will it enhance the taste if we add chana to this recipe? Or it will bounce back???

      Hi Natts
      I meant to dry roast the oats. Just fry them in a pan without any oil or fats.

      Hi Uma
      Thanks for trying. I buy himalayan salt from mustafa. It is also available in fairprice & cold storage. You will have to use it in moderation. So if I use it for 2 to 3 months then I give a break for 1 month to 6 weeks. During the 2 to 3 months, I use it in all our foods. Hope these help.
