1tbsp oil
6-7 curry leaves
½ chopped onions
2 whole red chillies
A pinch of mustard seeds
A pinch of asafoetida
½ tsp turmeric powder
½ tsp red chili powder
½ tsp salt
1 tbsp lemon juice
Cilantro for garnish
2tbsp peanuts (roasted)

Directions:
• Soak oats in water for 5 minutes.
• In a pan heat oil. Add mustard seeds, when they splutter, add onions, red chillies, curry leaves, asafoetida, turmeric powder and red chili powder. Let it cook for 2-3 mins.
• Add soaked oats (after draining the excess water) and give a mix for 2 mins.
• Add peanuts, cilantro and squeeze lemon and they are ready to serve.
