Masala Dry Oats/ Oats Poha: Strictly Veg

If you are on a weight loss journey or you are athlete who wants to take advantage of the great macro and micro nutrients of oats but do not want to pair it with sugar and loose the plot then masala oats or savory oats recipe would be your knight in shining armor. I personally have never been able to like the sweet taste of oats in milk with fruits, its soggy sticky nature.

I usually accompany this with a cup of black coffee without sugar.

Bonus Tip: If your macros allow it then you could chop some Paneer, fry them at step one and keep them separate and then add the Paneer to the mix at the end and make it Paneer Oats.

 

PS: I usually either have this preparation as breakfast or carry this to office in a tiffin to have as my mid day snack.  Highly important to start the day with some good source of carbohydrates.
