Instructions

- In a large bowl mix oats, curd or yogurt, grated carrot, cucumber, ginger, finely chopped green chilli, chopped coriander leaves or cilantro salt and cumin powder. Mix well and add milk or water to get your desired consistency. Mix and cover the bowl. Keep in refrigerator overnight.
- Nex day take out the soaked oats. Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and broken dry red chilli. Let the seeds splutter.
- Add curry leaves and stir. Now add cashew nuts. You can also use peanuts or use only peanuts instead of cashew nuts. Fry till cashew nuts becomes crisp. Switch of the stove. Add this tadka or tempering to the soaked oats. Oats are delicious without tadka. If you like it then you can skip the tempering or tadka.
- Taste and adjust salt if required. You can also add some more green chilli if you want your overnight oats more spicy. I have also added some dry roasted peanuts to give a crunch.
- Enjoy the easy, quick, delicious and healthy overnight oats in breakfast, lunch or dinner. See notes for more options.
Notes
1. Green chilli is optional. You can skip if you don’t like the heat of chilli. Or you can add one more green chilli to make more spicy.
2. Freshly crushed black pepper can be used instead of green chilli or use both if you want.
3. You can use roasted mixed seeds as topping. Sprinkle seeds before serving.
4. Use nuts and seeds according to your taste.
