         This is perfect for the lazy,lemon lover, me Loser..Could be made in jiffy and enjoy it hot! Perfect for bachelor cooking too! We all know the benefits of oats, I have been eating oats for quite few years,though not consistent,but when ever the weight management thought comes in me. Well,that comes every month,Oh go onbut I like oats,I can eat everyday for a meal(break fast/lunch /dinner) for a 4 or 5 days ,but after that I get bored of it. Then forget for a while,then again… goes on and on …Not talking

        I use sesame oil for vatral kuzhambu,puliyogare,lemon rice and these kind of tangy dishes. Oats normally have a dry texture,I prefer to eat only in form of poridge or just make it greasy with sesame oil like this. Sesame oil has so much of health benefits,it has tendency to increase the good cholesterol,so which will help to keep the cholesterol in control. It is also rich in anti-oxidants. So don’t be afraid to use this in cooking. You can use generously…



Notes:
  • You can increase the water amount and make the consistency of your preference,I like mine to be like this,so used less water.
  • Also change the water quantity if its not quick cook oats..
  • Make it only when you are going to eat,if it gets cooled down,it wont taste that good, you cannot blame me for the taste Winking smile

Raji,

Lemon oats looks delicious. Nice recipe. One suggestion next try to add lemon juice after switching off the flame, otherwise vitamin c will be losed during heating.
