Heat oil in the frying pan and add mustard seeds,urad dal,channa dal, curry leaves
Let it splutter
Add ginger pieces, green chilli and bowl of the chopped vegetables
Saute it for 3-4 minutes. Then add salt,turmeric powder,asafetodia,kashmiri red chilli powder and again saute them in low heat until the veggies get roasted well.
Pour 1.5 cups water and close the pan. Wait for couple of minutes until the vegetables are 3/4 th cooked. I like my veggies to be little crunchy. If u want u can wait until they all become soft
Then add 1 cup Oats and half cup of water to the pan and keep stirring. Lumps are not formed as in other upmas. However adding too much of water will ruin the taste of Oats. Keep an eye on the amount of water being added. It may vary depending on the variety of the Oats you use.
Cover the pan and lower the gas flame. After 5 minutes the Oats would have been cooked completely. Garnish wiyh coriander leaves
Healthy and tasty Oats upma is ready to be served with your favourite sides.
You may also use green chillies instead of chilli powder,red chillies
