  6. Add toasted rolled oats and mix well with the tadka. add salt
  7. Now sprinkle water, do not add all at once. Cover and let it cook. Sprinkle 1-2 Tbsp more water if oats are not soft yet. They should be just soft and to the bite and not mushy

  9. Serve immediately with some yogurt on the side
Notes
Lightly toasting oats is the most important step to make oats upma. Follow step 1

Add any kind of mixed vegetables you like carrots, cabbage, beans, add bell pepper/capsicum if you want

Never add water all at once, oats upma will become a mess. Sprinkle slowly and then mix it. Lightly fluff up as you mix the upma
