How to Make Veg Masala Oats Porridge

• Dry-roast the chopped onion in a non-stick pan until it shrinks.
• Add the oats and roast until you get an aroma.
• In the meantime, pressure-cook the vegetables separately until soft and slightly mushy (2 whistles).
• Add the cooked vegetables, water, red chilli, turmeric, garam masala powder and salt to the oats.
• Cook on medium flame for 3 minutes until the oats become soft. Add more water if required.
• Boil for a while, then use a ladle/masher to mash the ingredients well (depends on how you want the vegetables to be).
• Cook for 2 more minutes until the preparation gets a porridge-like consistency.
• Add chopped coriander leaves and pepper powder and switch off the flame.
• Garnish with raw onions.
• Serve hot.
