This month the WBB event is being hosted by Madhuli of My Food Court. The event is the brainchild of Nandita of Saffron Trail.
This is my contribution for WBB July Oats.
When I came to know this month’s theme was Oats, I was a little doubtful whether I would be able to participate . Apart from making porridge I had never tried any thing else with oats.
But then Asha’s post inspired me to try some thing. She had powdered the oats to make parathas. That was it.
I too powdered the oats to make halwa for kids. I know calorie conscious grown ups may hesitate to eat it .
So heres the recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup Quaker Quick Cooking Oatmeal
2 tsp to 1 Tbsp ghee
1/4 cup sugar
Approx. 1/2 cup mixture of water and milk ( the ratio of milk and water should be half milk and half water)
a pinch cardamom powder
Nuts and raisins ( optional)
METHOD
1.Powder the oats in the grinder.
2.Roast the powdered oats in ghee, till it changes colour and gives a nice aroma.
3.Add the water milk mixture and stir well.
4. Add the sugar and cardamom powder and mix well. Cover and cook for few minutes , till sugar dissolves.
5. Mix in the nuts and raisins and serve.
