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.
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 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.
