Oats Bisibelabath

I always loved this recipe. I lived most of my life in south and rice is the staple food there. But being in diet i could not have rice hence i wanted to try this variation. It turned out good and i eat so much that i was full up until the evening.




Ingredients

Oil 1 tsp or ghee 1tsp
Oats 1 cup
Tur Dhal 1/4 cup
Carrot 1
Peas 1/3 cup
Tomato 1
Beans 4-5
Tamarind extract 1 tbsp
Jaggery 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
Salt

For Tempering ( Now i skipped this stage as i wanted to stick to less oil but you can definitely do your tempering if you like it)

Oil 1 tsp
Mustard 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves 5 -6

Bisibelabath powder

11. Add tamarind with a cup of water and cook for 5 mins
12. Add the bisbelabath powder and salt and mix. Mix well such that you don't find lumps of the spice powder
13. Add a cup of water and cook for 2 minutes
14. Add oats and mix. Place a lid and cover for 5 mins. Turn off the heat

At the time of serving you add ghee 1 tbsp
