Masala oats

A different version of the regular masala oats sold in small packets. If you want the same taste as the regular masala oats, you can add maggi seasoning powder instead of the usual powders given in the recipe below, Personally I like this version better since I am not a big fan of the store bought noodle  masala powders loaded with additives and sodium.

Ingredients:
1.Toasted oats, 1 cup. (I have used steel-cut oats).
2. Vegetables like carrots, green beans, peas, etc. all cut into small pieces.
3. Diced onion, 1 cup.
4. Chopped tomatoes, fr com 2 medium sized ones.
5. Green chilies, slit into two, 2.
6. Ginger-garlic paste, 1 teaspoon.
7. Turmeric powder, 1/4 teaspoon.
8. Sambar powder, or chili powder 1/2  teaspoon.
9. Salt, as per taste.
10. Garam masala, 1/4 teaspoon.

Preparation:
Heat a pan with a tablespoon of oil.  When the oil turns hot, add the diced onions and saute for a few minutes unti translucent. Then add the diced green chilies, tomatoes, ginger garlic paste and keep sauteeing until everything is well blended. Now add sambar powder, turmeric powder, salt, and the vegetables and keep sauteeing under low flame until the vegetables and cooked. Now add two cups of water and let it come to a boil. Now add the oats and cook under medium flame until the oats is cooked and the required consistency is reached and serve hot.
