Oats Sweet Kozukattais

A different kozhukattai recipe made with oats. We had it as an evening snack with tea. I also added oat bran powder to increase the fiber content in the recipe. I just ran the oats in a mixie and ground it.   



Ingredients:
1. Powdered oats, 2 cups.
2. Shredded coconut, 1/2 cup.
3. Cardamom powder, 1/2 teaspoon.
4. Coconut palm sugar or any other preferred sweetener, 1/2 cup to a cup depending on preferred sweetness level. I just used half a cup.
5. Ghee, a tablespoon. (optional).
6. Roasted and broken cashews, 2 tablespoons.

Preparation:
Heat three cups of water in a thick-bottomed pan and add the cardamom power and sugar and let it come to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, add the oats mixed with the cashews and  coconut slowly and mix it slowly without lumps. Keep mixing under low flame until the mixture is thick enough and we are able to scrape it from the bottom off the pan. Switch off the stove and let it cool. Once cool, mold it into round or preferred shapes and steam them for 10 to 12 minutes and serve.
