Ingredients:
– 1 cup rolled oats
– 1 cup milk (adjust to desired consistency)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper powder
– 1/4 teaspoon pink salt
– A few coriander leaves
– 1/2 cup yogurt (curd/dahi)
– 1 tablespoon ghee (clarified butter)
– 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (rai)
– 1/2 teaspoon urad dal
– A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
– A few curry leaves
– 1-2 dry red chillies (optional)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper powder, 1/4 teaspoon of pink salt, coriander leaves and 1/2 cup of yogurt (curd/dahi). Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
- Cover the bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours or overnight. This allows the oats to soak up the flavours and become soft and creamy.
- The next day, check the consistency of the oats. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more yogurt or milk to adjust it according to your preference.
- Now, let’s prepare the tadka (tempering). In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee over medium heat.
- Once the ghee is hot, add 1/2 teaspoon of mustard seeds (rai) and let them splutter.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of urad dal and sauté until it turns golden brown.
- Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing), a few curry leaves, and 1-2 dry red chillies (if using). Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Pour this tadka over the soaked oats in the serving bowl.
- Give everything a gentle stir to combine the flavours.
- Your refreshing Dahi Tadka Oats are ready to be served!
Tips and Tricks:
– For added nutrition, you can toss in some chopped vegetables like tomatoes, cucumbers, or bell peppers.
– Customise the tadka according to your taste preferences by adding spices like cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, or coriander seeds.
– If you’re short on time, you can skip the overnight soaking and simply let the oats sit for at least 30 minutes before adding the tadka.
– Feel free to garnish with fresh cilantro or mint leaves for a burst of freshness.
Enjoy your cooling and nutritious Dahi Tadka Oats for a satisfying breakfast that will keep you energised throughout the day!
