Description

A very healthy break fast main course with oats and vegetables . Usually every one at home are so fussy about oats . Every time it’s on the break fast table , there is a problem . They will want cornflakes , sandwhich or some thing else instead . I got this recipe from a regional tv channel . It was so easy and quick to make . I remember I didn’t even take note of the recipe , I just stored it in my mind . Tried it out and no one even knew that oats was there in the dish until I let them know . Now it’s a regular dish on my break fast table .
