Oats - 2 cups

Onion - 1/2 

Tomato - 1/2

Green chilies - 2

Green peas - 1/4 cup ( I used frozen )

Carrot - 1 ( chopped like a cube )

Channa dhal/Kadalai paruppu - 1 tbsp

Coriander leaves - 1/4 cup

Turmeric powder - 1 tsp

Salt

Butter/Ghee - 1 tsp

Oil - 1 tsp

Water - 4 cups

Method:

Dry roast the oats in a pan, let it cool. In the same pan add butter and oil, once butter melted, add mustard seeds, channa dhal. After mustard seeds started to splutter, add Cinnamon, cloves, onion,tomato and green chilies, saute well. Now add the vegetables, turmeric powder and salt. Saute well. Add 4 cups of water. Since we are using 2 cups of oats, adding 4 cups of water, like 1:2 ratio. Once water started to boil add oats and let it cook with the lid, until we get the kitchadi consistency. Squeeze lemon and mix well. Garnish with coriander leaves.
