Sorry folks - It's been ages since I wrote on this blog. I have been a bit busy to say the least. Have launched a company and am now selling granola to the people who want to eat a delicious blend of oats, nuts and seeds and maybe some chocolate too....
Have also been to a few fantastic blogs in the last one year and tried lots of new recipes. Oats has been around for ages, but suddenly seems to be back in fashion again and why not? Something as simple as a bowl of steaming porridge with milk gives one a brilliant start to the day. Simple, good for you and extremely economical in these hard times. Then there are some of us who want a bit of change and maybe do not want to have oats with milk every single day. For these people, have been created the wonderful granolas and the muelis .... So, today we have oats in all flavours and is fit enough to be placed on the plate for all meal times.
Start the day with Oats porridge or Oats Granola or Oats Muesli
Have a good lunch of Oats idlis or pancakes with spicy roasted veg - topped with a dollop of yogurt
End you day with a large bowl of Oats, lentils and vegetables
Enjoy a snack of oat crackers at anytime of the day........
You will sure be Oated out....
The superfood 'Oats' - well, you don't need to have it at every meal time but please do incorporate it at least one meal of the day - is brilliant for the body, they say.
On this educational note, here is a recipes for a oat-based snack:
Instant Oat & Veg Slices
Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup semolina
1 cup shredded spinach
1 tbsp grated ginger
a handful of chopped coriander
1 tsp of green chilli, fined chopped
1 tsp of madras curry powder (optional)
2 cups of yogurt
1 tsp Eno fruit salt
salt to taste
Method
- Mix the oats and the semolina in the yogurt
- Add the spinach, ginger, chilli, salt, curry powder and Eno
- Pour it into a greased pot
- Place the greased pot into a steamer (I use the pressure cooker as a steamer - add water to it and removed the weight/whistle from the cover of the pressure cooker to allow the steam to escape) for about 15 minutes on medium high flame
- Turn the flame down and steam for another 2 minutes
- Take it off the gas and allow to cool
- Turn the dish upside down and remove the Oats 'cake'
- Cut into slices/ wedges and is great with a cup of chai!
Hope you enjoy this lovely snack.
