Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup Oats (I used quick cooking oats)
  • 1 1/4 – 1 1/2 cups thin coconut milk (refer notes)
  • Cooked Cherupayar (whole moong means/green gram – 1/2 – 3/4 cup)
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup Grated coconut
  • 5 Small onion / Pearl onion (sliced)
  • Curry leaves
  • 1-2 tsp Ghee
  • Salt

Instructions
 

  • Cook oats in thin coconut milk or water till it's done and reaches the right consistency. You can make it thick or watery, depending on your preference. Add cooked cherupayar, grated coconut and salt. Mix well. Cook for 2-3 mins. Remove from fire.
  • Heat ghee/ coconut oil in a small pan and add sliced small onion and curry leaves. Fry till the onions turn golden brown. Add it to the Oats porridge.
  • Serve hot with Pickle or Papad or Chammanthi Podi.

Notes

You can use water to cook oats, if you want to make it super healthy. You can skip the garnishing with the small onion, if you must. however, it gives a nice crunch and flavour to the dish.
If there is any leftover, you can store it in fridge. Add some water while reheating.
