Oats Upma  Recipe

Oats Upma never go wrong if prepared in a proper way. Oats Upama should be soft and shouldn’t be soggy or sticky .if you add less water in it, it becomes dry very fast, if you add more water it becomes soggy. Oats becomes sticky if you directly cook it in water or milk. To avoid all these problems use the following tips.

Tips to make a perfect Oats Upma

  • Roast Oats with 1 teaspoon oil for 4-5 minutes until it becomes very light. Basically all the moisture in it should get evaporated and the Oats should get little roasted. This will make pats Upma non sticky.
  • Add water1:1 ratio in Oats Upma.less water will make it very dry and chewy and more water will make it soggier.
  • Add colourful vegetable like beans, carrot , capscicum / bell pepper  ( red , green) , green peas etc to make Oats Upma  to make it more nutritious .

I add all the basic Upma ingredients in Oats Upma to make it tastier. Urad dal (black lentils) curry leaves gives nice flavor to Upma.you can also garnish it with coriander and fresh grated coconut. Add the ingredients according to availability.
