Simple Steps to Prepare Nutritious Oats Khichdi at Home

Oats khichdi is a healthy twist on the traditional Indian khichdi, combining oats, lentils and veggies for a quick, nutritious meal. Take a look at this simple recipe:

Saute Vegetables

Heat a little oil or ghee in a pan. Add cumin seeds, followed by chopped vegetables like carrots, peas and beans, and sauté for a couple of minutes.

Add Spices

Toss in turmeric, salt and a pinch of asafoetida (hing) for flavour. Stir well to coat the vegetables evenly with the spices.

Cook with Water and Lentils

Pour in 3 cups of water along with 1/4 cup of moong dal (split yellow lentil). Let it cook until the dal softens, then mix in the roasted oats.

Simmer and Serve

Let the oats and dal cook together for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the khichdi reaches the desired consistency, turn off the heat and serve hot.
