Monday Morning and the day seems long for me all because I woke up a bit early ;-) hope your weekend was good, mine was super busy with the husband at home and this weekend was pretty much cooking and eating. So today I am all sluggish and wanted to go for light meals, I often make this Spicy Oats porridge and since one of my reader requested for this recipe I thought of sharing it here, I made the same for this morning's breakfast. I find lot of commercial masala oats packets in food shelves these days, trust me they cannot be as good as homemade ones. Oats has been a long long ago ingredient as far as I am concerned, ever since I can remember Amma used to make oats porridge at home. But as the years have passed I have learnt to spice it a bit and added more vegetables to make it more appetising to eat.
Oats is low in GI (Glycemic Index) which means its great for those who have diabetes and PCOS. A great filling breakfast/ dinner with oats is said to reduce bad cholesterol improve digestion and control blood pressure. One other thing is that never have more than 2-3 tbsp of oats per meal the quantity also matters if you are looking at oats as a diet food. Adding lots of fresh vegetables to this porridge make it really filling at the same time balance in fibre and I have also added tofu for a bit of protein to make this a complete fulfilling meal.
