Thandai overnight oats bring our festive thandai flavour into a healthy breakfast. Rolled oats and chia soak overnight in thandai milk, so you wake up to a soft, creamy bowl. We top it with rose petals and seeds. It tastes like a festival but is good for you.

What you get in every serving

This turns a festival flavour into a breakfast you can feel good about — about 381 calories a serving with a solid 13.6g of protein and over 7g of fibre. The oats, chia and milk do all the work, giving you steady morning energy and keeping you full, while the thandai powder brings those lovely Holi flavours of elaichi, saunf and dry fruits. I love that it tastes like a celebration but eats like a sensible bowl.

How I make it nicely

Mix the thandai powder fully into the milk before adding oats and chia, so the flavour spreads evenly and there are no dry bits. Let it soak overnight (or at least four to five hours) for that creamy, set feel, and loosen it with a splash of milk in the morning if it is too thick. The garnish matters — rose petals and seeds make it look as special as it tastes.

Make it your own

Start with two spoons of thandai powder and add more if you like it stronger. Use any milk — dairy, almond or oat — and use maple or date syrup in place of honey to keep it vegan. Fresh fruit like banana, berries or mango is lovely mixed in, and a few chopped nuts add crunch and protein.
