Oats halwa recipe – Oats halwa recipe made with jaggery, nuts and seeds. This is one of the healthiest oats sweet recipes I have made. I have made these using pumpkin seeds and nuts that takes off the stickiness from oats. You can skip pumpkin seeds from this recipe.
Pumpkin seeds are high in antioxidants and rich in many vitamins (especially vitamin E) and minerals.Traditionally these seeds are used in many countries as a natural remedy for expelling tapeworms and parasites from the stomach. According to studies, they prevent in the formation of stones in kidneys and are beneficial to reduce the inflammation in people suffering from arthritis. These are only a few to mention. Studies are under way to prove that these tiny seeds can be helpful in regulating the insulin, benefitting diabetics and they might even reduce the chances of cancer.
So do grab a pack of these seeds from your grocery store and try to use more of these in your granola, cakes, muffins or any other dishes.

Today, I will share a simple oats halwa recipe, which my mom usually prepares. I guess many of us want to use oats with jaggery and not with sugar. If you want to replace jaggery with sugar, you can very well proceed, but we have never tried it with sugar. We have been cooking this with jaggery , karupatti (palm jaggery) and coconut palm sugar, all taste good.
If your karupatti has a strong smell, which you cannot stand, then you can use few drops of rose essence. The reason we use almonds for this recipe is to make it tastier and to balance the flavor of pumpkin seeds which many do not like.
