Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Using rolled oats gives a better texture compared to quick-cooking instant oats.
  • Roasting the oats for a couple of minutes prevents them from becoming too mushy.
  • Adjust the consistency with warm water just before serving if it becomes too thick.
  • A pinch of garam masala added at the end elevates the flavor significantly.
