Oat Meal for breakfast

Hmmm.... Oats?!? Yukkkh! What about my Maska Paav or Egg Omlette with Tea? Who eats Oats for breakfast? Well I do :) and I love it by the day, everyday. Surprised? How can one eat those dry ugly looking flakes. Well not anymore, try this...

Ingredients:

½ cup White Oats
1½ cups Milk
3 tsp sugar
½ tsp Flavoring Essence
2 cups Water
A pinch of ground Cardamom
A pinch of grated Nutmeg
½ tbsp Wheat Bran (optional)

Method:

Mix together Oats, Bran, Sugar and Water. Boil the mixture for 5 mins, till the oats mixture starts thickening. Now add the Milk slowly to the mixture to loosen it a bit, making sure there are no lumps formed. After a quick boil, remove from fire and add the nutmeg and cardomom. When slightly cooler, add the essence. I prefer Vanilla or Rose flavor. Let it cool to room temperature and you're all set to have a hearty breakfast which is very healthy and nutricious. Tastes great even when refrigerated.

Optional servings:

You can add cinammon and grated apple to the meal instead of cardomom and nutmeg. I like to add Bran to this since it is high in fibre which is deficient in my regular diet.

Hope you enjoy this one!!
